Joanna Newsom - Cassiopeia lyrics

rate me

Feel the mattress tense beneath me Like the muscle of non-sleepy Feathers flexing will defeat me And it vexes me complet-e-ly And the hexes heat covertly Like a slow low-flying turkey Like a texan drying jerky But his meaty mitts can't hurt me With my steely will compounded In a mighty mound that's hounded By the snap your steel string sounded Just before your snores unwound it And in store are dreams so daring That the night can't stop from staring And i'll swim sweetly as a herring Through the ether not despairing Go to sleep You stunning sky Gently creep Cunning by Quiet hum Is amplified By your thumb That you suck dry Hundred raging waters snare the lonely sigh Oh, you hold your breath and clasp at cassiopeia Hundred raging waters snare the lonely sigh Oh, and you hold your breath and clasp at cassiopeia Cassiopeia Cassiopeia Oh Cassiopeia
