Don't take your eyes off of me
Not even for a second, alright?
There's a rhythm to this kind of thing
And once you're out of time
You'll never be alright

Stop the record
I want to spin around
And for the record
I can sing as loud as I want

Don't slide your voice off key
Not even for attention, alright?
There's a union to this kind of thing
And once you've lost your eyes
You'll never seem alright

Left right, left right
Let it ride, Let it ride, Let it ride

I've got a reason to sleep
My head tucked safely between
The air and sheets
Wires run past my ears and teeth
With the flow of the world in the chords

Move the skin, move the skin
I swear you'll love the feeling

I've got a reason to need
My throat tucked neatly between
The muscles and seams
Wires run past my ears and teeth
With the flow of the world in the chords

The smoke from
Someone else's cigarette
In my mouth
She lies down and says
I want to see you
I want to know you
I want to poison you

Hey, blue baby, take a breath

Keep me safe
Locked away and say that bruises mean nothing
Without a body to pin them to
Like sugar grains sweetly sleep
I want to be you
You want to be everybody else
Who bite their nails and tongues
Anxious for something new

I don't think I ever thought that I'd grow old

Do star falls make you happy?
A sea of light crashing to earth
Sew me to your bed
So I can sleep there always
Until the end of my days

I want to say
All of the things that you're afraid to speak
That's a hollow tongue you have
A songbird without it's voice
Curl me sweet
I'll straighten you like an arrow
I will always carry you with me
In your quiver on my back
