Lyrics One Eyed Jack - Mimicking Birds

One Eyed Jack

How long until a memory fades?
I was yours from the beginning
Her and I once, digging with spades
Cuz' you were my queen
And I was the one-eyed Jack
Had visions of staying up late and through to the morning
Beams of amber all go shooting the sun and even moonscape
Each layer was one age, never recreating or ending orbit
Ripple of crashing dreams I felt the desert highway
My eyes were glazed and there was this cactus
That was you, just bending your arm to wave
How long until a memory fades?
And the test of time proves uneven and inaccurate
I heard a roaring seismic wave washed ashore
We made a beautiful beach of old crumbled-down buildings
I felt a trembling from two tectonically-moved plates
Their molten seams: bleeding lava, building, crumbling, and rebuilding
Even ancient-filled air some down in the valley sutures when carving for far
too long
How long until our memories fade?
Within graves' sake… beyond, eons
Her and I once, digging with spades
For you were my queen and I was the…
Sparse and diluted, often in a new angle
All conscious states tangled
Barely even coped with the whole thing reasonably
Not sure about intention I feel senseless vision
Constantly sweating, profusely back in your eye
Crooked smile, and overextended
One-eyed jack
He’s one-eyed, he’s the one, he’s one-eyed, he’s the one
He’s one-eyed, he’s the one-eyed ace
Eons fold beyond home
He’s one-eyed, he’s the one, he’s one-eyed, he’s the one
He’s one-eyed, he’s the one-eyed ace
Eons fold beyond
He’s one-eyed, he’s the one, he’s one-eyed, he’s the one
He’s one-eyed, he’s the one-eyed ace
«…row, row, row, row!
Row!»
«Row, row, row your boat
«Gently down the stream
«Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily
«Life is but a dream.»
