VERSE 1
We've got wolf eyes
Without wolf teeth
Pick out chords without words
They speak just the same.
Where we are
Is far, so far
From Tokyo, Amsterdam and Kansas City
But we like to eat Indian food late at night
And we can buy blue vases from thrift stores
To make this house feel like home and
Contemplate this laundry basket life.
VERSE 2
We drink fire
We chew water
We smile harder.
We sleep in
In onion skin
And dream of giving pearl necklaces to the president
We say oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
To fill up empty, awkward spaces in between
Universes that we study
Through telescopes, removed and lost in scientific methods
Doctors' diagnoses: quite unwell, quite unwell
Well, well...
VERSE 3
And when hands are course
When a thousand dishes have been washed
I'll be collecting old medals collecting dust
These knots in
Stomachs, in
Hair and
Tying me to you
We are two
Sparrows in a willow tree.
