There are things we cannot see that hang
Within her sight
There are people we won't remember that
Dance with her at night
Eileen's calling me
To sit awhile and talk to trees
Eileen can't you see
The songs you sing are scaring me
Eileen, Eileen
She romances with the moon
Full and alone
It's really a street light
It's something we all know
6. Remains To Be Seen
Shy a quarters headroom
I saw the
Half-moon was burning down
Play with your reflection 'cause
And infection is going around
Dive head-on into me, Dive head-on into me
Dive head-on into me, Dive head-on into me
Meet my neighbor's widow, a black and
Bluedoe, she's up a tree
Trip, the lightning spastic
Captain Fantastic. The nineteen seventies
Dive head-on into you, Dive head-on into you
Dive head-on into you, Dive head-on into you
Bury the news with the views from
behind
the door
Rattle the bones with the drones at the
Corner store--see them for myself
Commies, kinks and masochists
Weirdos, love and homicide
Witches, freaks and 45s
Kick a painted pony let the spinning wheel ride
Within her sight
There are people we won't remember that
Dance with her at night
To sit awhile and talk to trees
Eileen can't you see
The songs you sing are scaring me
Full and alone
It's really a street light
It's something we all know
I saw the
Half-moon was burning down
Play with your reflection 'cause
And infection is going around
Dive head-on into me, Dive head-on into me
Bluedoe, she's up a tree
Trip, the lightning spastic
Captain Fantastic. The nineteen seventies
Dive head-on into you, Dive head-on into you
behind
the door
Rattle the bones with the drones at the
Corner store--see them for myself
Weirdos, love and homicide
Witches, freaks and 45s
Kick a painted pony let the spinning wheel ride

Autism? perhaps?
@Ly Not a bad guess but I would consider that when this came out in the mid-90s that Autism wasn't something that much was known about. I do think that mental disability is on the right track though - I was thinking more along the lines of a crazy homeless person, especially based on the last verse where Eileen is "romancing with the moon" but really only talking to a street light.

@Ly back then, my exposure to autism was via the movies like Rain man and Nell. So there was awareness. Im pretty sure i e read somewhere that Dave Sabo has an autistic friend.
