lyrics

I fell asleep playing chess with a pigeon
but heard he had won by the time I came too.
Or so said the saints, speaking sandstorms of ash,
inarticulate answers to questions which seemed never stupid,
but holy.
And I'm sorry still I'm not saying anything that means everything
to any one of you or me.
Not solemnly swearing on gods, graves or grandmothers,
gold bullions, ming vases, valiant heroes from our histories.

These people speak like saints
with all the advice they could give.
"I know what is better, I know what is better
I know what is better for you"

This greenhouse feels fuller, and faster than before,
but I've found a nice rock-pool, a gene-pool, a history.
A cul-de-sac, cave painting, car crashing keycode.
A keep-safe to hold in your head until you've found reason.
I'll say sorry if I sound sad in sentiment, or immmature,
giant disclaimers I'll have if when I speak I'm uncertain,
as though silence was making us all uneasy.

But I'll hear you speak like saints,
with all the advice you could give,
if you know what is better, you know what it better.
You know what is better
for me.
