lyrics

look at all this smoke
there is a fire on campus
did you hear
have you heard?
some people are worried about
all the archives
and some about birds
driving round the bend
we saw the burnt mountain
and the gate
open
before a ranger chased us
we saw homeless field mice
and took sticks of charcoal

let me have my pillow
window on the sea
give me a panado
rescue remedy

tears in my cortado
from a crocodile
let me have my sunlight
before i go on trial

a sleeping marble lion
he is the café guardian
and though his life
is a dream
he knows the past and future
and i think he’d devour us
if we set him free
among the hanging plants
i go through unread emails
and your name
appears
i’m sorry i’ve taken so long to reply
it’s just been a crazy couple years

some people change
and some people carry on
i want to carry on
i want to change
oh
i’d rather be sad than enraged
a saint before a sage

the sleeping marble lion
doesn’t miss a thing
knows when you are trying
and when you’re pretending

tears on the pillow
this time they are real
salt is in the wound now
maybe it will heal
