lyrics

This is where I go to dance against death
I haven't found my powerword yet
I hugged the pine again. The one that bleeds
I kiss its pitchy cheek and I fall into the dream

Where do I run to when I'm running from myself?
Bringing the boon back can be harder than the delve
Someday I'll meet the woman who speaks in tongues of gold
On Plastic Bird Mountain where the forests are made of combs

And I saw the goosebumps, Mary, as you rode through Coventry
Naked in protest where the four roads meet
I tried to pop them all. I tried to slay the beast
There is no I in team but there's "I" in everything

There where I go to be alone
With Mary and her planets and the neurons in the creek
Crows crow in cuneiform "The Charmer's Flute"
Slide on their bellies with pentagrams in their beaks

Sister Death and her teeth whiter than eyes
Dressed in 20 pile pigeon blue with Brother Fire
Will we speak in the tongues of quarreling lovers?
Will we get handsy as we stand before the gods?

This is where I go to dance into death
I traded in the cross. Put a maypole up instead
I make waves of birds as I'm howling at the dance
Taking my chance I'll stay in the woods with the devil

I leave an offering. I leave a part of me
A little navy bean and a lucky Yellow Spirit
I leave an offering. I leave a part of me.
Amsterdam Shag. White and black string
I leave an offering. I leave a part of me
Translucent blue glass stone. All my memory
I leave an offering. I leave a part of me
Lit holy stick. Tea candle from the shrine
I leave an offering. I leave a part of me
Gray jagged quartz and the climbing vine
I leave an offering. I take a part of You
Eyes whiter than teeth. A view of Sister Moon

I get the tingles when I say Your name
