lyrics

Hatched a plan
With the ice, the night, the glass
The light, my throat and my hand

Made tales
So grand
Bubble out from my mouth
Going from north to south, leaping clear from the land

While all hearing beings from here to the Bering Strait winced
My very own terrible voice caught my ears and I flinched

But darling you just smiled and listened in
While fire ants marched underneath my skin

I wanna be how the people be tonight
Smile so heavy and wide
I wanna be how the people be tonight
Earning your eye

You there
A-glow
So I loped over, soapy and squeaky
Dead sober, though you wouldn’t know

My tongue
Thick with love,
Speech slurred, like a drunk on a curb
Spewing words, syntax, no sight of

There’s a light that burns ever-bright, strong and sweet, behind your eyes
Man-made garbage and meteors light up the very same skies

Pray you never stop and wonder why
You’d lend me a minute of your time

I wanna be how the people be tonight
Smile so heavy and wide
I wanna be how the people be tonight
Earning your eye

Anybody looking could see
I will never earn my fee
But still,
You come and party with me
