lyrics

Drop acid in the car
/Pick it up/

Night never
interrupted by

You need care
You take it

Front porch
Sit in my bassline
/Bzzz, bzzz/

gives you gender

Let’s play
but I bring the dark side

If we climb
/birds and snakes
as steps/ if we

stop in Brooklyn

if we talk strategy again

/I’m climbing down the dark basement steps. Pitch black, then eyes./

Third eye’s hiding in her underwear

Sun rising spills DNA
Open window taunts a silver airplane

Women won’t let men, say
they have to learn

I run my fingers through your hair

isn’t castration, only a mouth
Rumi said /There’s no room for lack of trust, or trust/

Car ride through mtns
Held my hands, pulled mouth down to floor
My body next to Sara’s

I could be unbreakable, 87mph

Stand above me
angel, spirit, beautiful mystic

Look at me like I have it coming

I’m no ghost, no vision
can’t be no small, little, lost bird
