Little white moth, where are you going Glittering in the desert sun Your yin and yang dancing shadow It’s stalking you through the morning dust Your wispy wings, those flimsy fuzzies thinner than a beetles breath Swerve, slice, and swivel, carve, cut and chisel The wind’s dripping off your bayonet You’re like a house fire, nothing but panic Fast and tragic like you’re trapped inside Slow it down, you're looking crazy Is it the wind or your hyper mind Oh I’m the same buddy, I understand Every year I’m just feeding the fire Searing timber and burning hands But I’m whistling watching you my friend Little white moth, why is your body Flopping over in the desert dust Are you ok buddy? I hate the way you’re moving Shuffling sand like a morning gust If this is just your humor, It’s barely funny But I love your delivery It’s so unexpected. So vague and volatile A tourist trap jumping bean Your slowing down, drugged and drowsy Spinning 'round like a barber's pole Left and right, it’s where the wind blows Oh I’m the same, I’m barely in control And I don’t mean to pry, but I think you’re gonna die I can barely hear your buzz At least you’re in the shade, but that’s gonna change like I suppose, everything does My heart starts to quicken watching your legs a-kicking You’re tap dancing on my wrenching ribs You’re tip tipping tapping, your wings barely flapping You’re burning out like a candle stick Little white moth, I watched your body flake away in the desert heat Peeling skin, curling varnish You’re chipping off like a cheap antique Your leg is pinned under a pebble The sun's kicking you side to side Your bleaching out, you’re catching fire I’m kicking back watching embers fly Your shadow’s shaking off bit by bit Waving away in a grand farewell Sorry I’m not crying for you I hardly even do it for myself My youth is shaking off bit by bit Waving away in a grand farewell Go 'round enough and the sun starts flashing This world's felt like a carousel I’m bone white. I’m sun lit linen Hanging heavy in a window frame A breeze sailed through and shook my fabric But I know it’ll pass again
