lyrics

Lady in the water, slow down
and grab a bite with Romeo
Fancy looking quarters down town,
right next to my store

And this could happen for a long long time
Crooked karma saving lives
Future husbands with their future wives
Selfish sentence going on

Misplaced dreams of dying
down south, finger shaped, an oval rope
It's two hours of TV
And two more of just crying

Put on that old sweatshirt
Four sizes too small
This blanket ship has crashed
with sails collapsed
Well I'll just lay here as you yawn

I'll take off your jacket
Press your face into the sand
before you speak again

This month it seems I'm spendin'
all the cash that you've been lendin'
Grows from lattice wood
that grows beneath the stars

A curious engagement
Whistled melodies from sage plants
Conjures up a ghost
A ghost I've never seen

Spines and pines
Lay beneath the trees
as oiled leaves disperse from seeds

Fines from crimes
That echo in your ears
Just take a break and steer

I'll take off your jacket
Press your face into the sand
before you speak again
