Winnie |
| I’m here to tell you a story |
| I’m here to tell you a lie |
| My poetry’s weak and I know it |
| I was dropped at sad and crazy sometimes |
| So I fucked off, wayward canon to the sea |
| On land I was just an appetite |
| Of it started as a joke, now it ruled me |
| Sick on chronic mathematics |
| I just wanted to feel music |
| Her fever delivered me from the flue |
| The night hag’s hands spread lovingly |
| Pulling the cape from the sunrise |
| And revealing a bank of warships called «she"s |
| Warlike then reckless, I realized |
| No weapons were drawn that I could see |
| Save the blazing stare of the captain |
| Who held lightning captive from her teeth |
| So I looked off the edge of the world |
| I saw the girl who changed everything |
| That’s when I met Winnie |
| I wanted to be her sailor’s tattoo |
| She sang me a song that was too sad for some |
| Struck up the band and filled up her lungs |
| Her mouth was sharp as the rib of a star |
| She told molting truths that would break our own hearts |
| We were warriors! |
| We clothed ourselves in the guts of our enemies |
| Who’d no respect for the wild |
| Warriors! |
| Long before hotwire safari park husbandry |
| And the joy ran through us like the weather’s flux |
| We just wanted to be music |
| The joy ran through us like the weather’s flux |
| We just wanted to be music |
| Her gravity pulled up my sad remains |
| Finger the curve of her cunning bow |
| I’ve loved you so long, Winnie |
| I want to be your sailor’s tattoo |
| I’ve loved you so long, Winnie |
| Luring softly into you |
