Born on an Island

from the rock tumbler by chorus house

lyrics

tossing off your coat singing
I wait for the might I had then
laying like that, moving like that, it's a seize
hogs get tired of being called to the night
the pack last night caught bees in their temples
and the hammer was a reason to clean
i saw the spinning start to show your grin on the desk
i'm not blind when the light is off

hello hello
open up that box
i took a diamond from the sculpture's eye
and the bush from the west
don't throw your head like that in spirit
running up the walls we thought were haunted
you laid your hands the wrong way
that's not god or gods
only knowing your mother
what is walking
spinning in to the night just to get by
because we are living, we are able
then let's leave this place now
together

your hair used to cover my face
those three smells of women came up today
with a revolver
damage told me he loved slipping up
the cone said he was like a moon
traveling up
bend the key
your necklace is on a frame
leaving the mess you made
where are the lines we glanced in on
row no one you know home
not even me
