well time is but a slight of hand flys by my window at my command tangled hair, tangled sheets, sick as a dog, oh, sweet as a peach wildfires, in the night dreams of childhood at my fathers house of dust & mango juice & fireworks out on the stoop well this world it keeps on spinnin' it won't let me dry out yeah this globe it keeps on tumblin' but you won't won't catch me pout won't catch me won't catch pout wont catch me won't catch me pout

skin & mud 03:41
well I stalk my true love like a cat in tall grass & I talk with a barbed tongue for my teeth are all but young & your bones, they may be old, compact, from times deep folds tu sais, tout le monde, je pense, je comprende mais, il y a beaucoup des choses tu ne sais pas, dans amour. et ton âme, c'est ancienne, oui, mais tes poumons sont jeune your bones, your nails, your skin, your soul, may outlast, your words, this spell this matter cast well they say a kidney stone won't skip across a lake of blood yet here our lonely bodies rest on this earth of skin & mud le meilleure c'est un sommeil bien ivre sur la grève
6.
well I went to a psychic today yeah she told me what I wanted to hear yeah, good news about my life my career sweet as nectar to my ears yeah I went to a psychic today yeah I'm gonna meet the man of my dreams a tall dark handsome poet who knows how to cook & how to clean yeah I went to a psychic today yeah everything is peachy keen 'cause if one thing ain't goin' my way she ain't gon see none of my green
7.
it was a full moon we burned our wishes true a pisces, with eyes of blue a body of water with currents cool and an empty nest where I watched her undress with clean lilac sheets we tossed & tumbled to escape the heat well i biked to you at sundown we drove all through the night not knowing, not caring, oh, which way was home I thought, for a moment, we could run oh, run. to the desert, run, oh, run on down to mexico let the southern sun burn our northwest skin leave the rented car out in the sand and the sky, a robyns egg blue but with this empty nest I can't help but think you flew a thin crescent moon like your shadow across your empty room sing me an old song from before I was born sing me a tune I never knew. sing me an old song from way back when when the girls wore robyns egg blue
8.
well the moon is gently waning & the stars start to show & the train mimics my tarot as the wax, the candle wax, mimics my bones marrow
