lyrics

You sweet baby.
You have always looked the same.
Every single day in your life
Echoes the same way.
You angel of basements.
You grail full of grain.
Every single moment you live
Gets logged into your mainframe.
And the trauma in your muscles
Keeps you flinching, keeps you safe.
The suspicious always watching
Makes you a soldier
In their shifting gaze.

You thin cherub.
You have always been the same.
Perched atop a fountain,
Collecting coins, but not to save.
You spirit of sun rays.
You writer down of names.
Every window in your mind
Will keep you wild, keep you stray.
And the opening of your arms
Makes the shy into the brave,
And the wandering in your heart
Keeps your closeness managed, far away.
...
You wide window
You have always been the same
Sitting pretty all alone
Adjusting light and sun and rain
You concrete chasm
You classic refrain
...
And the echo down the street
Is nothing you would change
And the light on the leaves
Is nothing you would change
And the echo down the street
Is nothing you would change
And the light on the leaves
Is nothing you would change
