Splashdown - Halfworld lyrics

rate me

tonic says, "just a swallow."

snaps you back like a twig

'till you 'waken a bit confused

in the shoes of a lonely fiddler

drunk at the barndance

romance exits the room

scraping strings for a fat chanteuse

and there's none to desire you

(porque manyana a lo me hor ay un entierro)

whisper, "fine," and just let it go

is nightshade a food or a poison

do you follow my reason

is reason important

fortune fled

he stumbled off the heaven's edge

sixty bottles beside the bed

magic medicine takes his easy head down the bottom

grab the root from the stem

box the compass and back again

fall in love with a spiral

(porque manyana a lo me hor ay un entierro)

where it leads only heaven knows

so persuasive and silent

(porque manyana a lo me hor ay un entierro)

like the oceans of vertigo

is nightshade a food or a poison

do you follow my reason

is reason important (at all)

potions keg

shifty gifts from the dead

drink your spirits and pray forget, how unfortunate

some are pixie led through the forest

where the time passes slow

you've forgotten to turn your coat

and now you're growing old

and reason is spinning itself into gold

and all time is frozen once reason's been sold

is nightshade a food or a poison

do you follow my reason

is reason important (at all)

(porque manyana a lo me hor ay un entierro)

(3x)

*("porque manyana a lo me hor ay un entierro" - english translation - "because tomorrow there may be a funeral")
