Sow - Shrub lyrics

I'm the girl without the girl in me I said I'll be queen of meteors as long as you are not king It's been a long time My mind is aching Worn out by the incessant nagging of a fait accompli You once said If the heavens were made of ice You would be all that is nice and beautiful in this world Like the tiles in the Hotel de Nesle I carry their colour in my knight of hearts And watch the sky as it parts into tiny fragments Floating past my stupid eyes stupefied Let's dance Night or day Get the tank and drive It's been a long time My body's burning Blown apart by the relentless reminding of an act best forgot

As I fall into the lap of fate the stars mean nothing I leave them all to you Instead when I look up above There are black velvet starfish melting into celestial spheres Lunatic dolphins orbiting inflamed planets An octopus pulsing with pure cosmic kicks And amongst the craters where the ash has turned to soil Little shrubs are slowly showing green leaves to the world Love comes and goes It gets thrown away You find another one and all is fine So why ask me why I'm gone and far away Riding intergalactic aurora Merging with rocketmen galore Into space Outta myself It's funtime
