lyrics

You up in your iron bird
like the story of a man that i once heard
while staying in the country 
sitting by a fire
getting burned by my one desire

you up in your couch of white
you with your violet kite
in the lap of comfort
rollin in the hay
to destroy or pervert
every word i say

you in your self lighted star
do you even wonder what you are?
do you even look down on your friends
who wonder where your loneliness ends?

you up inside my eyes,
you in the closet of surprise
opening a gift not meant for you
and taping it up back up, broken in two,

you in your harlequin suit
you in your boots of wax and your hat of fruit
you're living just to dance upon the sun,
whether or not you think there isn't one
