Lyrics:
All that music in your mouth Rivers rushing at your teeth Cresting waves through wading valleys Flooded language tributaries Collect and cover over me Tensing jaw and cork screw eyelids As if you couldn't bare to see All that water pouring from you Collecting clouds inside the ballroom Over people who don't know you But darling i do You trance yourself back from the city Blood not moving to your feet Your foot falls tentative and muffled Automatic listless shuffle Your sidewalk scatter brain cry uncle You paint yourself back in your corner And look for her on your tv It's friday night and i am hungry For a hand, a mouth, a body A love i wouldn't have to carry A stitch in my mouth And i'm untying now A concrete canal In a bomb border town An echo in the rafters Reminding you there was a sound But you killed her in waves So she stayed as steam To hiss at you now You killed her in waves But that's not today So you breathe through your mouth Try to calm yourself down And keep what you found And shout it out loud She can hover and hurt Or dissolve to dirt Some prayer in your mouth Or she might stay as steam So get to the beams To figure her out
