She's dreaming up a holidayFalling asleepAll the little miseries of Monday morningSaying come back won't you pleaseDownstream into a quiet blue nightSheltered from the stormy skiesSkipping over fields with easeWon't be back until you need meShe sees a poacher cut a barbed wire fenceAnd the creatures flee the foothills in fearAnd if a mountain is a monument to Nothing thenAin't we a pack of sorry mutineersBut she's my favouriteWhere she's boundHoney, who can tellShe's my favouriteWhere I went wrongHoney, I can't tellHigh over the smoking vents of sawmill townsSouth into the Darling DownsDown over the border where the rivers crawlBefore they're flushing out the bloodless soundsSongtexteThat flow below the city skylineLike a pipe organ that's choking on its tongue all tiedHarder on your ear than a Chinese new yearAnd louder than a sun if you could hear one onceOver the fruit bats heaving higher in the soupScreaming, "Why you coming here in just your birthday suit?You make a Sodom then defend yourselvesYou little demons like to love your Hell"But she's my favouriteWhere she's boundHoney, who can tellShe's my favouriteWhere I went wrongHoney, I can't tellShe takes the Moon in hand and powders her noseThe stars are shimmering like the cymbals at a Broadway showMeet me by the seawall before the high tides riseShe's going everywhere she's been with every boyShe's ever triedSands of Mercury make her black eyelinerThe seas of Neptune leave her eyelids blueA kiss from Mars will turn her lips blood redAnd a black hole makes a purse she drops a world intoShe goes dancing by the waterfrontTo every dance I never took her toWith all the boys who made her happy for a momentThen abandoned her for being blueBut she's my favouriteWhere she's boundHoney, who can tellShe's my favouriteWhere I went wrongHoney, I can't tellShe sinks home low over the countrysideDrawing in her wings before the sun gets highDown into my pockmark on that big old wheelAs earthbound as she left meShe's my hunted little favouriteFor miles around they know her faceRugged up in her winter coatSleeping by the fireplace.
