lyrics

What is on your mind?
I wish I knew it so intimately
In about thirty days
Your warmth escapes I'll trade my silk for fleece
Copper and porcelain
Tough as an ox you sip oversteeped tea
Where is my olive branch?
Doves up my sleeves but still I can't find peace

If this feeling had a colour
It would be grey and filled with iridescent streaks
Like all this bitumen
Pumped towards our coastline from out east
So sink down into me
On my seafloor you'll stay
It isn't good for us
But they say
There just isn't another way

Used to say you were mine
Though we both reject private property
I watered at the mouth
Now my big lakeside house sitting empty
Do what but killing time?
Tighten lids ferment and let them be
Self- and otherwise estranged
Only sorry self-hating bourgeoise

Wish we could freeze this forever
In its perfect moulded form
With hot silicone and science
We'd sculpt it sans beating core
Mummified but so attractive
Out of stock it sold a load
Free from the shade of history
In bright overhead glow
I dunno
