Cotton & Velvet

I was dreamin' of ships

In the evenin' sun

My tongue on the ocean

Made me feel all numb



There was no sadness,

no, honey, honey, nothing was wrong

Just cotton and velvet

you know I need not a song



The poet barks

mouth full of stars

says you better find someone

before it's too dark

Oh, before it's too dark



Oh, milky flowers

under the sun

and I, the king of nowhere

you know I'm still on the run



Oh, imaginary heroes

Goddamn, I'm as lonely as one

they got me talkin', they got me talkin' to the bluebirds

Oh, baby, where have I gone?



Now the poet barks

mouth full of stars

Says you better find someone

Before it's too dark



I think it's already too dark

I think it's already too dark



I woke up to the passin' of planes

On some silver day

And it stoned me to my soul

and honey I just floated around all day.



I can count my fingers...

I can count my fingers...

Now I can almost spell my name.

And every thirty seconds somethin' new

and every thirty seconds somethin' new

and every thirty seconds somethin' new.
