• A shudder in the wind Your velvet hand paints my purple skin That’s when you shake the blanket from the dust Steal away with polished lust Warning: I may never breathe again Tearing down these graffiti walls Writing names on dirty bathroom stalls We’ll keep it short and sweet, simple addition Just two kids out on a mission Lonely life is more than half as small So open up your hands Take my list of plans I know it’s not much to see Just a name of familiarity But that’s all that I need A field of unkempt grass Clouds that look like trains in the forecast See it? The wheels, the engine, the cloud of smoke Wait, it turned into a sail boat Renovations hide our tarnished past Let the rain fall on us from the sky Steel roof drumming us a lullaby 1, 2, 3 miles away, and getting nearer Though the sky’s never been clearer See the fox, see the runaway bride So open up the door Go on and dance some more Live it up, this life-like dream Just a cup of refined reveries And that’s all we need A shudder in the wind Your velvet hand paints my purple skin
