lyrics

Sleep water eyes rolling back in my head/ And the cat was a curl at the end of the bed/ And the sun was a shunned lover and it burned/ Oh I miss you girl/ with a heave and a buzz/ And the time that we kissed/ on the white sheepskin rug/ And the sun was a lone lover and she shone/ Mind, my dear/ Someone is crossing the Leveler’s pier/ The chestnuts are growing up backwards this year/ The vicars are mystics/ And the devil is near/ Oh sippin’ your lips/ At the ends of the earth/ And you’re drunk in a state/ And the room is a whirl/ And the sun was your blood brother and he lunged for ya and you closed your eyes/ Time, my dear/ The angels are crossing the Leveler’s pier/ The daisies are popping up early this year/ The butcher’s a buddha and heaven is here/ Oh heaven is here/ But our bodies are built just like toys/ A shell and a hollow/ A heart for a dollar/ A spin in the pen and you’re broken again/ Back to the sun/ We’re going back/ with our backs to the sun.
