Holopaw - Hula-La lyrics

rate me

Thought he heard whispering outside the diving bell...<br />

Sounded like his little sister laughing<br />

(when she was lying with the glass snakes in the yard -<br />

when she was smiling over pretty cakes).<br />

<br />

High above on the bright side of the tether, <br />

the captain breaks into a shore-leave-grin.<br />

He thought the swishing of her grass skirt sounded like whispering,<br />

sounded like, "Hush, now." Hula-la.<br />

<br />

The clouds were lit from the inside,<br />

flickered like jack-o-lantern light.<br />

She was breathing smoke rings like little lassoes.<br />

He was bobbing like a bird on the edge of his glass.<br />

<br />

Far below on the quiet end of the tether,<br />

he blinks his lids under the crush of green water...<br />

the murky glow of the candles on a cake... <br />

hears the hum of "Hush, now." Hula-la.
