Stephen Malkmus - The Poet and the Witch lyrics

Pity the poet who suffers to give Sailing the seas on his oceans of love Strange how the sound waves break out of his reach Love is a paradox who inherit the sky queen of the sky Sonso sticking thunder from star staggered eyes She gives away to be one with the skies She breaks away on the night that she rides Suffers her hunger to inherit the sky queen of the sky Never to ---from faraway eyes Beacons of life and their queen is the dawn Deaf to his ocean and blind to his charm She's deaf and she's blind but she's queen of the sky queen of the sky Queen of the sea she sleeps on her own The fishes have found her the ocean has grown Slips through the waves and she sank like a stone Queen of the nightmare will inherit the sky queen of the sky
