Still waters run deep
silent movie dream
am I still asleep?
The morning star had the
daylights scared out of it
so it up and split quicker
than a shooting star
I was dreaming I was a bird
and that you were to
divine where the future lay
all in the way I flew
I awoke with a chip upon my shoulder
mistook it for the weight of the world
I looked into the jaws of a dragon
saw a naked little girl standing there
holding a flower, holding a flower
Butterfly asleep upon the temple bell
in the cottage in the castle
in the cathedral and up
in the tower |
|
Don’t you know all I can do is dive
make like a waterfall
light up like a ferris wheel
on a full moon summer night carnival
Or I can march like a New Orleans
jazz band parade
into the wee wee hours till the
sun comes up goes back down and fades
My mind is a medicine show
full of magic bullet solutions
I been mixing mother’s milk and raven’s blood
and junkyard salvation-style revolution
And still waters run deep
like static on my radio dial
in this valley all the hills are steep
all the hills are steep
Butterfly asleep upon the temple bell
in the cottage in the castle
in the cathedral and up
in the tower |
