lyrics

Solid feast on a forest track
moving hairs in a mousetrap
the hairpin bend of the doctor's day
candelabra burns away.

To know your soul, I propose joining a good ship
but it's a frightening ship
red hot coals, prepared slow
you are a tough stick, but you are a crumbling brick
red hot coals, prepared slow
you are a tough stick, burning a short wick.

Snip snip and the day is gone
cooking pot, safe haven
proto-magnon psyches lead
up to now, the only now we breathe
Icicles harden the stars
tidemarked, laundered life
rippled foglight touching soft
software becoming hardware.

To know your soul, I propose joining a good ship
used to be a terrible ship
red hot coals, prepared slow
you are a tough stick, burning a short wick
red hot coals, prepared slow
you are a tough stick, burning a short wick.

Lick zig zags in the street
pawing needles, schemes to streams
cash tailor - exile game
Heaven bound for the rest of the day.
