old tender, he holds his heart in his hands -
and the hole in his chest is filled with soot and sand.
he's spending his dying breath
on lotteries + cheap cigarettes.
let's walk in the woods, swim in the silt -
run off on the banks of the newspaper mill.
i'm thinking i know enough
to say that it's you i love.
and the clouds are brewing!
roll in babel, it's sauntering up.
cadillac wheels are moving -
it's nothing but a storm in a teacup!
old tender, she moves with the steps of a stork -
when the daffodil walls of her bedroom start to talk.
she's tearing up tax returns
in the hope that she'll soon hit the urn.
let's roll in the rocks, speak to the sky -
hope to the heavens that the heavens don't run dry!
i'm thinking i know enough
to say that it's you i love.
and the clouds are brewing!
roll in babel, it's sauntering up.
cadillac wheels are moving -
it's nothing but a storm in a teacup!
