lyrics

Advance my hands
Into the freshness
A blade of sound
Into the vastness

Cleft from the sadness
Wild horse harnessed
With a magical flash
Like a mermaid tail
Cleft from the sadness
You and I and Atlas
Holding up the world
Hating every second of it still
But I’ve got a little thing
And you’ve got a little ring
Spent the night
Smelling chain link (chain link!)
Cleft from the sadness
Night light I might
Never sleep the same
Never be the same
Never be in pain

Counting on a lucky star
Driving down the street
Dashboard feet
Gonna tell me everything
And I listen to you speak
Though I’m slowly going deaf
And the engine’s getting louder
And we’re leaking gas again
I know what it’s like to be inches from death
And not care one bit
And keep driving all night
I found a prayer in my pocket
And your name was at the bottom
I know the spirit’s moving now
I can feel her in my mouth

As you decipher what this is
Shifting colors in the sun
Maneuver through the brush
Following into viridian

I made a wish
Lit a candle
Put a fiver in the tin
Smelled the incense
And insects were crawling on my skin
I found a lizard on a ledge
He let me look him in the eye
I asked him why he chose this temple
Told me “cuz it’s up so high”
I felt the mist coming in
From the ocean and the wind
Blew the sweet scent of jasmine
And Asiatic spice
It took a long time to get here
And I couldn’t even drive
But I found you in the flora
Because you’re always in my life

My fingers wander
My eyes do not
My arms are stronger
Than you thought
Murmur murmur
Countertop countess
We are nothing if not luxurious
