We found each other blown between the trees, Waning moons wanting to be swallowed by the sea Like we finally saw the colors of the world We grew the garden snake within the weeds, Laid each other long across a flat back street Like we finally saw the colors of the world We felt the sun leave us for the west, And the lips always walking farther from the breast Like we finally saw the colors of the world We ran a white flag up the mast, Puckered up like a widow gleaming in the gra** Like we finally saw the colors
of the world Like we saw black, like we saw black and blue You my blues Like we saw black, like we saw (brown green?) too You saw an offer but its over too soon(?) Like we saw black, running I found you in Like we saw black, lying in golden white(?) We threw our money to the river stone Led each other to the woods to wander back alone Like we finally saw the colors of the world We let the taste linger in the mouth, South Chicago never gave us more to sing about Like we finally saw the colors of the world
