lyrics

ONE NIGHT WHEN ALL THE TREES ARE FLAT (AND I'M A GIANT AND I'M NEARLY DEAD)

Raging to the cries of slugs,
she's talking to the city bugs.
Wonder what she might have heard
when lingering with the poet thugs.

Often I can see her cabin
on the dried out riverbank,
and I see what for lunch she's having,
it's always soft inside her fangs.

Mary, Mary, my deadly foe,
leather and tar from head to toe,
we can't do our cheap tricks, we wait for you.

Be always sure tow alk behind your shadow,
make it rise beneath the burning sky,
and if it ever shatters on a corner,
just be glad it wasn't you this time.

Just be glad.

Mother of the growing spheres,
she wanders through the mist of years.
We're decomposing slowly, die,
lovers make me love her spine.

The curch bells ring but she don't go,
keeping the balance of her lonesome sould,
the concrete gears of copper doors,
she comes to terms with getting low.

And when i burn will you regret the fire?
Will you miss my lonely enterprise?
Dig me out, extinguish my repulsion.
Just be glad it wasn't you this time.

Just be glad.

One night when all the trees are flat,
and I'm a giant and I'm nearly dead,
I'll go to her window and whisper her chant.
