[00:11.123]When sight goes
[00:14.295]I'll lead you around the excavation
[00:17.655]Where grass grows
[00:20.825]And remnants of you in implication
[00:24.101]Your breath sounds
[00:27.184]Inhaling a porch, in time it's frozen
[00:30.317]In blue gowns
[00:33.679]You trace along the house which you had chosen
[00:36.903]While holding tightly
[00:40.219]All sound is dead so sing in time and lie
[00:49.836]When life meets child, your only plight, you'll lie
[00:59.596]When ceilings smile, we'll sleep awhile and lie!
[01:09.658]I'll take you for walks among the patients
[01:18.779]She had a pretty dad
[01:25.171]But she was growing out of play-school
[01:28.997]Still she could kick and scream and play until she wanted to
[01:37.837]My little chocolate girl
[01:44.397]Her brother barely out of high school
[01:47.618]Lived in a place where he could scream until he wanted to
[01:56.807]No fuzzy tabby cat
[02:03.330]And she could bury him in apples
[02:06.664]And curl around a roll of cotton 'til she wanted to
[02:15.439]But still she had to speak loud
[02:19.255]'Cause hearing isn't high among the widows
[02:22.383]She eats in
[02:25.745]And picks her Sunday flowers from the garbage
[02:28.779]And cries late
[02:32.045]Still drinking with the boys from Argentina
[02:35.713]And prays long
[02:38.749]In hopes of something better for the children
[02:41.830]And holding tightly
[02:45.199]All sound is dead so sing in time and lie
[02:55.525]When life meets child, your only plight, you'll lie
[03:04.502]When ceilings smile, we'll sleep awhile and lie!
[03:14.282]I'll take you for walks among the patients
[03:23.807]She met a pretty boy
[03:30.145]And they would dance between their elders
[03:33.271]And she would cream until the wine she bought had settled in
[03:42.651]My little chocolate girl
[03:49.171]She used to love the stars from England
[03:52.620]She slept on records and hung marble jewelry from her skin
[04:02.361]Her colors matched the room
[04:08.046]And she would twirl around the curtains
[04:11.169]She had a hand to hold her chin up when her friends let down
[04:20.786]The kid across the street
[04:26.957]Would peek around when she was changing
[04:30.125]And he would wait and she would tell her friends about the boy
[04:39.582]Her mother died at home
[04:45.816]She had saliva in her pockets
[04:48.847]She gave a groan when her last days had finally gave the date
[04:58.377]So goodbye, chocolate girl
[05:04.631]Oh won't you lick a name?
[05:10.839]And put your lanterns on across the maze
[05:15.516]So I won't feast on folly
[05:17.195]You better love the rain, who brought the strings in, dear
[05:21.024]And who will pop the drain 'cause I can't see you
[05:29.789]I'll open up my brain again
[05:36.361]So put your lanterns on across the maze
[05:40.463]So I won't feast on folly
[05:42.614]You better love the rain, who brought the strings in, dear
[05:46.763]And who will pop the drain 'cause I can't see you
[05:55.209]I'll open up my brain again
[06:01.838]So put your lanterns on across the maze
[06:05.251]So I won't feast on folly
[06:07.867]You better love the rain, who brought the strings in, dear
[06:11.654]And who will pop the drain 'cause I can't see you
[06:20.379]I'll open up my brain again
[06:26.641]So put your lanterns on across the maze
[06:30.425]So I won't feast on folly
[06:33.559]You better love the rain, who brought the strings in, dear
[06:37.145]And who will pop the drain 'cause I can't see you
[06:45.258]I'll open up my brain again
[06:51.509]So put your lanterns on across the maze
[06:55.286]So I won't feast on folly
[06:57.658]You better love the rain, who brought the strings in, dear
[07:01.452]And who will pop the drain 'cause I can't see you
[07:09.758]I'll open up my brain again
[07:15.961]And put your lanterns on across the maze
[07:19.820]So I won't feast on folly
[07:22.524]You better love the rain, who brought the strings in, dear
[07:26.158]And who will pop the drain 'cause I can't see you
[07:34.502]I'll open up my brain again...
