where'd you get that mannerof speaking out the side of your mouth, of your mouth, of your mouthwhere you get that laugh it cuts me right in half and every time I get stung get it outbut I'll wait to see that you're not some secret police I'll wait to tell that your'e not some faux Bakeliteand how long will your bangs hang downtill you at last cut the curls from your crown and every lock that will drop to the floorit's not your face, it's your voice I adorewhere'd you get that poise despite all the noise, it'll rest on my hand like falling rocksgot a recent fool and he'll always follow youhe goes down on the bed and on the cot and on our breath will brawl like some ancient scroll that is alland our breath will brawl like some birch bark trees in the fallhow long will your hands stay cold even as they move to protect every foldas it spreads to the corners of the room you'll wake up strong for a long afternoon gotta reach her with the green and gold that's been sold down gotta reach her with the green and gold that's been sold down river...what you'd get per soul I had slept, you had stole, did they pay what you hoped they would paywas it bits of fun posing as a lung, as the rest of the swan suffocates I'll piss and moan til the unpaved roads guide you homeI'll split in two til you're wound so tight in sweater's silkhow failed was that verse that never nailedthe overcast and the summer cutting kaleat first sign of a drought and coming rainwe'll flow with rivers on our raft of sugarcaneSongtextewhere'd you get that mannerof speaking out the side of your mouth, of your mouth, of your mouthwhere you get that laugh it cuts me right in half and every time I get stung get it outbut I'll wait to see that you're not some secret police I'll wait to tell that your'e not some faux Bakeliteand how long will your bangs hang downtill you at last cut the curls from your crown and every lock that will drop to the floorit's not your face, it's your voice I adoregotta reach her with the green and gold that's been sold downgotta reach her with the green and gold that's been sold down river...
