lyrics

Verse1
Two feathers

Spinning in the air
They were out to catch
One last dance
Before they got kicked out

Without a cent

They held each other

As they slept trees
Didn’t wake up

Til a quarter to three
He was fallen like the leaves
She was covered in moss


Chorus

(she says)
I’ve been living underground
Maybe I’d do better
Living underwater.

The sea goddess
She would keep me honest
Down there in the darkness

Drowning careless hunters


And it almost makes sense
But she’s running out of breath

Well it almost makes sense
She always ends up underground


Verse2
She draws her blood

With knives sharpened by time

And dull pencils
Someone left behind

She keeps it simple
There’s nothing she wants to hide



A hard scene

Angry faces in red

Sold it for fifty
It almost makes sense

But later she’ll say

She don’t remember it that way.

Verse3
Her shadow’s long
She has enough for a beer
He’s off to score
So she’s staying right here
There’s a ghost whispering
In her ear

She breathes out

Watches the cloud
Disappear as
Her spirit goes numb

The dreams don’t come back

After she lays down
