Holopaw - Abraham Lincoln lyrics

rate me

The deer and the antelope play<br />

The hiccup of the telephone wires<br />

Birds tossed in and out of the fray<br />

Clouds rushing in loose focus<br />

<br />

Afraid if he drops his glass into this room<br />

Might just stare a hole clear through<br />

Like a thumb pushed into the paper mache<br />

Grizzly that rides the prey<br />

<br />

Pale green life vibrates across the Abraham Lincoln<br />

Curses spin beneath his chin<br />

<br />

Not to pass any judgment<br />

Over the deer and the antelope play<br />

Over the boys swapping names<br />

And the girls folding papers into clipper ships<br />

<br />

When they've wandered from the parade route<br />

And the room fills with aquarium lights<br />

Cursive in a tangle on the wall<br />

And the grizzly lies in deep deep slumber<br />

<br />

From the cold cold places behind the Abraham Lincoln<br />

Where the wallpaper will not fade<br />

Magnolias pressure up against the bank from the dark as the deer and the antelope play<br />

The clicking of their heels, the clicking of their heels<br />

<br />

Pale green life vibrates across the Abraham Lincoln<br />

Over the boys swapping names<br />

And the girls spinning curses across clipper ships

<br />
