Irish Waterfall
from An Unforgettable Luncheon by Pea Green Boat
lyrics
Feel it slipping past my teeth
Between two lips that chatter promises
Chewing on the entrails
Of citrus coloured mannequins
I feel it carry me away to charcoal skies
Feel I'm losing all control of my designs
Burn the line again
Takes away the breath and leaves me desolate
Swimming on the ceiling, broken poetry
Whispering ghosts
Tell me where I go from here, my friend
This room has left my dry
Start to end, these strings will barely fly me anymore
They never gave me any problems before
Those cats weren't lying
When they said the well was drying
The dogs don't even come here anymore
And we were singing
So hollow and beautiful
A gentle Irish waterfall
By half past seven, I'll never have been here at all
Those cats were lions
As the pride declared a riot
The wolves backed up from clawing at their doors
And we were singing
So hollow and beautiful
A gentle Irish waterfall
By half past seven, I'll never have been here at all
Between two lips that chatter promises
Chewing on the entrails
Of citrus coloured mannequins
I feel it carry me away to charcoal skies
Feel I'm losing all control of my designs
Burn the line again
Takes away the breath and leaves me desolate
Swimming on the ceiling, broken poetry
Whispering ghosts
Tell me where I go from here, my friend
This room has left my dry
Start to end, these strings will barely fly me anymore
They never gave me any problems before
Those cats weren't lying
When they said the well was drying
The dogs don't even come here anymore
And we were singing
So hollow and beautiful
A gentle Irish waterfall
By half past seven, I'll never have been here at all
Those cats were lions
As the pride declared a riot
The wolves backed up from clawing at their doors
And we were singing
So hollow and beautiful
A gentle Irish waterfall
By half past seven, I'll never have been here at all
