lyrics

Out on the beach where the saltwater grows
Born in a hut, and born in a hole
Says with a smile to replace all the words
With slippery cellophane follows the birds

Finding a mind with ecstasy shields
She sings to the wind nowhere in the fields
The trees whistle back while greeting the day
When all of the ignorant all float away

Heart-piercing sounds drift away from her mind
When she finds out she’s two of a kind
And she talks to the sky when she wants to run
And buries the cash she stole from the sun

She dresses in black in the heat of July
When bright red cars come drizzling on by
And the lights come down upon her head
And welcomes the nights as she goes to bed

In memory, a gold-painted she
Will breathe in the dark and cut down the trees
In memory with palindrome keys
She swears me an oath, her voice is the breeze

In memory, irregular she
She hides down below, to keep from being seen
In memory, wrote in Linear B
Will close both her eyes, she dances with me
