MOSQUITO

Watching the stars in the sky

Wondering why,

This love won’t die,

Like I want it to,

The universe won’t move me out of my own way,

Windmills in my rearview,

Working their blades into this heart of mine,

Until the end of time,

Kissed on the 142,

By a mosquito of truth,

They’re apocalypse proof,

Even they’ll agree,

It’s been a real long day,

A real long day

I was held up at the Edward House Hotel,

Like a sea with no shells,

Iridescence burned into the back of my eyes,

Shapeless as the sun,

Refusing to rise,

Its been a real long day,

A real long day

Loose lips at the top,

Of the tree won’t stop,

They will splutter along and there’ll be hell to pay

A real long day,

A real long day

No birds outside,

To herald when the world collides,

With the pitter and patter into the heart of the matter,

Oh man here’s another one,

Here’s another one,

I hear the pitter and patter begin to stutter and shatter oh man,

Oh man

Watching the stars in the sky,

Wondering why,

This love won’t die,

Why would I want it to,

The universe won’t move,

Out of its own way

Treachery is so brief,

Yet we have to live with it,

And shake its hand until a grain of sand,

Is all thats left between,

The lamb and the lion,

Innocence and shame,

Then you know you’ve seen,

A real long day,

A real long day,

It’s been a real long day,

A real long day
