That means no |
|
where I come from |
|
I am cold, out waiting for the day to come |
|
|
|
I chew my lips, and I scratch my nose |
|
feels so good to be a rose |
|
|
|
Oh don't, don't you lift me up |
|
like I'm that shy, no no no no no, |
|
just give it up |
|
There are bats all dissolving in a row |
|
into the wishy-washy dark that cannot let go |
|
and I cannot let go |
|
so I thank the lord |
|
and I thank his sword |
|
though it be mincing up the morning, slightly bored |
|
|
|
O, morning without warning like a hole |
|
and I watch you go |
|
There are some mornings when the sky looks like a road |
|
There are some dragons who were built to have and hold |
|
And some machines are dropped from great heights lovingly |
|
and some great bellies ache with many bumblebees |
|
(and they sting so terribly) |
|
|
|
I do as I please |
|
Now I'm on my knees |
|
Your skin is something that I stir into my tea |
|
And I am watching you |
|
and you are starry, starry, starry |
|
and I'm tumbling down, and I check a frown |
|
Well, just look around |
|
It's why I love this town |
|
just see me serenaded hourly! celebrated sourly! |
|
dedicated dourly; waltzing with the open sea |
|
Clam, crab, cockle, cowrie |
|
will you just look at me? |
