lyrics

Sunday in the Trailer

David Bowie is an alien
Pho and his brother too
Mike's half alien and half machine
Kate Bush - it's a toss up
Bjork - it's pretty obvious

You took the post card off the wall where you had hung things up instead of TV and wondered if people still paint like that ever. 1912.
Girls fishing.

In a black dress. In a white dress. We guess at what it means,
You write a message you'll mail to me later.
I wonder about Joanie
and her alcoholic boyfriend. What do women like that do? Getting older, didn't live her life like the others. I wonder for Joanie, but secretly I wonder for me.

You said I was elegant as you pressed my shoulders
I thought of the claws of my feet
I tried to hide them, but you found them eventually.

If I were air
If I were thoughts that didn't dare
To materialize into flesh
What would I have to kiss you with?
