Silken tongues
lick lick licking
by a fire breathing
just like we do
When we are sleeping
with one eye open
and two eyes closed
And as the drops drip drip drip
infinite molecules of infinite
ever changing colors

Breathing trees sweeping painted on the sky
Creeping just like they do
and as the bloomed over and over
your skin is cold
so i pressed into your back
as you peered out through the glass
and everything became
the liquid that you're made of
as you dropped out and rode your melt

and when we fly
to touch lucy in the sky
you better believe
she'll have diamonds in her eyes
