Idylls Of The King |
This place with its old plantations |
These roads leading out to the sea |
This day full of promise and potential |
More clay pigeons for you and me |
All of them, all of them |
All of them, all of them |
All of them, all of them |
All of them, all of them all lined up |
Huge crows loitering by the curb |
Our shared paths unraveling behind us like ribbons |
And I dreamed of vultures in the trees around our house |
And cicadas and locusts and the shrieking of innumerable gibbons |
All of them, all of them |
All of them, all of them |
All of them, all of them |
All of them, all of them all lined up |
How long will we ride this way about? |
How long 'till someone caves under the pressure? |
My dreams are haunted by armies, armies of ghosts |
Faces too blurry to make out, numbers far too high to measure |
Your face like a vision straight of Holly Hobby |
Late light drizzling through your hair |
Your eyes twin volcanoes |
Bad ideas dancing around in there |
All, all of them, all of them |
All of them, all of them |
All of them, all of them |
All of them, all of them all lined up |
