Inside a boy
I found a universe
And is his eyes
Are a thousand stars
On a dark sky
We are clouds, we are whispers
Like fawns and shape-shifters
Our edges can never be found out
No, our edges keep moving further out
We are stars colliding
Now we crash
like lightning into love
love
In his arms
I’m unwinding
Under his kiss
I’m falling into love
We are stars colliding
Now we crash
like lightning into love
love

Open up your heart to me
Darling you're resisting this place
You've been dreaming only of it
It's just like ice building up inside
Darling we've accumulated too much miscommunication
In the beginning everything is soft, [not?] defensive. Perhaps we begin again, shining
I want to love you [to sleep?]
I want to love you [to sleep?]
So nothing is stopping me from receiving from giving out
I want a storm to blow it out
I want to shake myself and turn my heart inside out
I want a storm to blow it out
I want to shake myself and turn my heart inside out
Open up your heart to me now
Open
Darling you're resisting this place
You've been dreaming only of it
I want a storm to blow it out
I want to shake myself and turn my heart inside out
I want a storm to blow it out
I want to shake myself and turn my heart inside out
Don't you want to let it go
Let it go
(Darling you're resisting this place)
Let it go
(You've been only dreaming only of it)
Let it go
Let it, let it, let it go

if i were queen then you and i’d be neighbors
i’d pick you up each morning for doughnuts and tea
ah close by
ah close by
if i were queen then you and i’d be neighbors
we’d collect things and we could argue where to put them
ah close by
ah close by

sometimes in the springtime
i like to see the apple blossoms with you
sometimes in the winter
i like to see the snow falling with you
once we took apples from my grandfather’s tree
but i had nowhere to plant the seed
so we baked them with sugar and we ate them
sometimes on saturdays when it’s raining we do laundry
especially then i like to watch you fold so carefully the clothes
especially then i like to watch you move your fingers slow

at the end of the sea there waits my wind to carry me
through storms we will sail just to gaze at the top of the world
from the bottom of the world we looked up and saw the moon
and gazing at it then we fell in love
so we made up our minds to arrive smiling yes
we made up our minds to touch the height of life
and find out what we felt for it
how we felt for it
from the top of the world we looked up and saw the sun
and gazing at it then we fell in love
. . .

How i tried to catch you while you ran ahead of me
I lassoed mars to see if you were hiding there
But you'd already ran past jupiter to pluto's moon
And my rope won't reach that moon
This is a state of electrical shock
You were so beautiful i thought you'd last forever
But you came and you went when the lights went out
You went like you came
In a light'ning bolt
Why did you go like this
I slam against the wall
It's crushing my skull
Why did you go like this
I slam against the wall of permanence
And like a ghost i am spinning
In circles the dance of pluto's moon
. . .

bass player all alone
makes a sound most wouldn’t call a symphony
as he plays thinks of maid sad and shuffling
she sings blow me a kiss before i drown in sorrow
blow me a kiss before i drown
he saw her by the moon
dress in hand her hips were swayin’
melancholy tune broken buckles tired lips
she was singing
blow me a kiss before i drown in sorrow
blow me a kiss before i drown in laundry
she said i want to be with the stars tonight so i can fly above the laundry

oh to lose by fire by flame this old feeling
insignificance
then i can hear you brighter than the stars
your voice is a razor blade
i can see you shining through the sun
you’re so mysterious
lose the hold as i throw this with a goodbye forever
fear of exposure
then i can hear you brighter than the stars
your touch is light’ning
i can feel you prickling like a thousand shark teeth
prickling like a thousand shark teeth closer to me
come closer to me
come closer to me
come closer to me
come closer to me still
. . .

i rest my head on water
i slip under
i descend into the deep
past the rushes, past the shipwrecks
into my tears i float
and like a sieve i’m catching leaves and sticks
i’m catching planks and fishes
so it washes through me clean
i’m run clean through
ah!
. . .

you are the brightest diamond
i can see you shining for miles and miles and miles and miles
everybody here’s wearing long faces but you
and mary wants to hold your face and kiss you for her birthday
are you coming?
i can see you shining
i can see you shining
you are the brightest diamond hidden in my pocket
oh how glorious you must feel splendid
you must feel splendid
but you have spit out beauty like an idiot
why did you chew up shinies with a paper shredder
you are the brightest diamond hidden on my wrist
you are now untouchable
now untouchable
now untouchable
reaching through the space between your universe and mine a warm light shines
and will until all breath and sigh expend
expend
expend
