Stardust & Polaroids

  This is the one song everyone would like to learn: the song that is irresistible: the song that forces men to leap overboard in squadrons even though they see the beached skulls the song nobody knows because anyone who has heard it is dead, and the others can't remember. -Margaret Atwood Mood

  Waited and wanted Wet and all haunted I waited for the storm Wrong and all alone Can't it be clearer The dear and the dearer Still waiting for the storm Too fluid to form Mood

  I had been lost to you, sunlight And flew like a moth to you, sunlight, oh, sunlight Oh, your love is sunlight Oh, your love is sunlight But it is sunlight All the tales the same Told before and told again A soul that's born in cold and rain Knows sunlight, sunlight, sunlight Mood

  Down by the bay (down by the bay) Where the watermelon rot (where the watermelon rot) If you go home (if you go home) Just don't get caught (just don't get caught) But if you do My mother will say "You don't wanna know What's outside the window Down by the bay" Mood

  Drink from the leche of sirens Summon the sailors in town Strangle the fear of deciding Which one's deserving to drown Don't feel bad when these fuckers all drown (Let them drown, let them drown, let them drown) Tenderness worn on the skin like a dress Nurture these men, pull them out of their mess They steal the resources, destroy all the land Belittle the power of the feminine hand The milk from the rivers of every moon Cradle you tight like you're back in the womb Bury their souls in a cove by the light Celestial dip all that ego and pride Mood

  Hearts will dream again Lungs will breathe in Wash away the sins It's where it begins Feet won't fail you now Arms won't let you down Wash away the sins It's where it begins Hearts will dream again Wash away the sins Mood

  Well, I'm as puzzled as the newborn child I'm as riddled as the tide Should I stand amid the breakers Or should I lie with death, my bride? Hear me sing, "Swim to me Swim to me; let me enfold you Here I am, here I am Here I am, here I am Waiting to hold you" Mood

  I can bring a change, I can bring the thunder and the rain Everything around me, everything will rearrange I'm coming back like a hurricane I'm gonna take you higher On a cloud of silver haze I wanna take you higher Away, away, away We can blow them over We can take them out if you stay This is just a warning Nothings standing in my way I told you before Mood
