lyrics

Lift the apple by the stem
The only part you saw back then
You had to eat it to see more
The stem is part of and not part of the core

Melt the wax off of the wire
See me sick and sad and tired
Hold the glass up to the light
Hear the birds sing deep into the night

I wanna melt like cashew cheese
That is to say, only partially
I’m coming out of a deep deep freeze, so excuse me

The river runs with flat champagne
Not a single novel thought in the brain
My Citizen Kane, my Kid Charlemagne, it eludes me

No one can confirm the vacancy of my reverie
No one will be there to snitch on me to eternity
It’s a self-regulated industry of ascendancy

An angel whispers, a devil shouts
God just smiles and burns down your house
Don’t forget the deal you made
When you hit zero that means all your debts are paid

They wanna come and take me away
If I don’t make it out of here today
Put me on the playlist at the vegan cafe, it’s alright.

The river runs with mixed-up paint
The sound of singing becomes faint
In the body’s chorus of complaints, it’s alright

No one can confirm the vacancy of my reverie
No one will be there to snitch on me to eternity
It’s a self-regulated industry of ascendancy
