Brighten the eyes of petty thieves who crawl at night
N.C.
Centuries of poison to escape this heaven or hell
This earthly cell of dead flowers and so many wounded foes
N.C.
Witches confused by their own magic
Witches displeased by their own perfume
Shame-locked women
N.C.
White blood, blue night (Start fast piano and stop flute)
Angels lyrics
Female creature wilted high in the raftors
Orgies of dust and butterfly laughter
Shadows spilling into the babe's milk
Starry eyes of ghost's memoir
Four blue plus two, that makes six
That's twelve times two
Two brown eyes, one green
Hazel's asleep in the hayloft
Down the road drowning in dry grass
In the sweet maiden's lap poisened with nightshade
Witches last laugh
Stick your thumb out
Lift up your skirt
Someone's gonna stop here soon
Take down your hair and wind up your grin
Someone's gonna take you home
Stick out your thumb and lift up your skirt
Someone's gonna stop here soon
Take down your hair and wind up your grin
Someone's gonna take you home
Verse
Even though red's not your color
I'll dress you in feathers
And fly you in the windy weather
Like a child bird marooned on an island of cats
Little dewy brawling cats
With cross-eyes and hats
They take mercy on you
They take you for walks
The mercy choir singing dismal hymns watery bible rhymes
All jumbled a mess
A mess of bright graves and flowers and balloons
Stick out your thumb and lift up your skirt
Someone's bound to stop here soon
Take down your hair and wind up your grin
Someone's gonna take you home
Verse
With a knapsack of trinkets
I'm off to seek my fortune again
Chasing ghosts of dead orphans
Friend, cousin, or kin
We wave to the passer by
Moth wings of a butterfly
Endless tracks where no car pass
Close your eyes and you can fly
I'm off to meet my soul mate
A naked fawny jailbait
Wading into ponds
Filled with pollywogs at dawn
Mournin' the light
That slipped from my eyes
A little child with dirty nails
And dirty hair
I had dirty things scrawled upon my mind
Stick out your thumb and lift up your skirt
Someone's gonna stop here soon
Take down your hair, wind up your grin
Someone's gonna take you home
