Baby canteen, when the harpists all are women
Too many irish folk songs for the devil
I live in wooded housing and I thought out all the numbers
I've been with Pan, the bakery man can see him
When you sleep among us smell the bodies of our elders
And wake up to the Milky Way at breakfast
I’ll take the time to pick up all those widow makers broken
No real way to remember if they'll work again
Colored people say oh no
If they think it’s contagious
Marshmallow people say oh yeah
If they think it's a masterpiece
(???) spark in the fire now
When the sky is blue (?)
The sky has breaks
What a good way to rise
The set of the sun
Will probably take all day
This side of the world
Is takin' its time
Goodbye
Blue heron
Green fly
Goodbye
Goodbye
I’ve got a raft I'll sail till it's broken
Lie in the lakes and break when it's chokin'
When she goes out we’ll hide in the thicket
Stay out of school and keep where the crickets cry
Mom can't breathe and I know that she's leaving
Birds on the quay, food for the crocodile
We're slowing down
As a race
Love takes time…
To fake them... (?)
Baby canteen, swollen fingers in the water
I roped an Irish pony for my sister (it's her birthday today, happy birthday Abby)
I'll live in wooded housing till they pull out all the needles
And drop you in a shelter near the highway
Colored people say oh no
If they think it’s contagious
Marshmallow people say oh yeah
If they think it's a masterpiece
