Clouds descending I'm not policing What you think and dream I run into your thought from Across the room Just another trick can I Weather this I've got a fever above my waist You got a squeeze box on your knee I know the truth is in between the First and the fortieth drink Concertina concertina a chill that bends This I swear you're the fiercest calm I've been in the soul quake Happened here in a glass world Particle by particle she slowly changes She likes hanging chinese paper cuts just Another fix Can I weather this I got my fuzz all tipped to play I got a dub on your landscape Then there's your policy of trancing The sauce without the blame too far Too far too far it could all get way too cheerful Concertina I know the truth lies in Between the first and fortieth drink Clouds descending
