Lyrics:
Verse When we were small Our teeth came out And they fell through the floorboards Down to the black garden Growing up under our houses Each day we waited in vain For those ivory seeds to pop up-to pop up And you said “a watched pot is an old fucking bitch to boil” Chorus You too said patience, patience You just sit still there under the apple tree For soon desire will burn less To see everything change While patience inside you has grown Verse When we were small Our pricks grew hard And our balls blue and buxom Wet in the morning We would wake up to discover Each day we waited in vain For those pretty straight boys To want us-to touch us And you said “A bird in the hand now will do til you can woo all the birds from the bush” Chorus You too said patience, patience my dear Won’t you sit still there Under the apple tree For soon desire will burn less To see everything change While patience inside you has grown While patience inside you has grown Bridge Like moss on the rock Like height on the hawk Like speed for the wheel Like zeal for the real Verse When we were small Our truth shone bright As the old Junebug's lantern But rattling the belfry How dutifully worked we to darken And each day we waited in vain to feel joy Underneath our bushel-our bushel Then you said “Sunshine never weeps for the drought nor the burn” Chorus You then said courage, courage my dear Soon you’ll rise up Set forth from that apple tree Knowing desire is what’s god Meaning god is desire to be Just to be just to be
