can we spend our lives inside these
shoeboxes and birthday cards
why do we go outside to dance in the rain
and try to avoid its drops?
do you know
what its like
to wander 'round naked, now
do you know
even care
whether
the weather
permits us to go there?
so strum strum those chicken feathers
between your forefinger
and your two thumbs, yeah....
cause Tori is fighting for her rights in the
down there in the spotlight
and your bread crumbs, yeah....
and its time time time
we fell back down the hillside
where we started out
and its like
you try to
talk about your life and your love him but he
talks about the weather and we
cant cant cant
make him
follow
follow rainbows
when it's in the shadows that we play
so do you know
what its like
to wake up in the morning with this darkness hanging over like the curtain
of a four-post bed
pr to try and play basketball from your position on the bed with balled up kleenex
i know what you're thinking
why youre sinking
with these shoelaces around your wrists and your twist....
(ing) in the celestial ballet
with decrepit red giants and nimble white dwarves
well...
dont try to talk about life and love when he....wants to talk about the weather....
