lyrics

Clam Crab Cockle Cowrie

That means ‘no’ where I come from. I am cold out waiting for the day to come. I chew my lips, oh, and I scratch my nose - feels so good to be a rose. Oh now don’t, don’t you lift me up like I’m that shy, no no no no no, just give it up. There are bats all dissolving in a row into the wishy-washy dark that cannot let go – and I cannot let go. So I thank the Lord, oh, and I thank his sword, though it be mincing up the morning slightly bored. Oh, now morning without warning like a hole – oh, and I watch you go.
There are some mornings when the sky looks like a road. There are some dragons who were built to have and hold, and some machines were dropped from great heights lovingly – and some great bellies ache with many bumblebees, and they sting so terribly.
I do as I please. Now I’m on my knees, and your skin is something that I stir into my tea, and I am watching you, and you are starry starry starry. And I’m tumbling down, and I check a frown. It’s why I love this town. Just look around and see me celebrated hourly, serenaded sourly, dedicated dourly, waltzing with the open sea: clam, crab, cockle, cowrie – oh, would you just look at me!
