Rheostatics - Mumbletypeg lyrics

rate me

I was like you - a dot, a figure or a point on a star.<br />

I could be king, a knight, a fraggle or a Johnny Guitar.<br />

Cast in the mirrored light, ten stories high,<br />

the serpent lays below the light.<br />

Don't look down.<br />

<br />

I had a Mom, a Dad, a sister in the back of the car.<br />

Frightened by every living creature<br />

'till she cut through the dark.<br />

Saw her reflection in the screaming ice,<br />

fell in love not even twice -<br />

or three times.<br />

<br />

Love struck quick. Was like a razor's flick.<br />

Hand to eyes to mouth.<br />

The Angels cried when they sent you south,<br />

but you will - you will - you will be happy<br />

in spite of the shit and the pain of it.<br />

A little dream of flags on an inky ship.<br />

You will ride five colored horses.<br />

Open sesame. Open your lips.<br />

Oh, I will...<br />

<br />

Everything big - so full of nothing<br />

that I just didn't need.<br />

Licking you like<br />

an all day sucker game of Mumbletypeg.<br />

You are the little thing that I understand<br />

like playing in this Rock and Roll band.<br />

We roll along<br />

<br />

Something grew between the black and blue.<br />

Heart to fill a house.<br />

A love so true, now there is no doubt that you will,<br />

you will - you will be happy.<br />

In spite of the shit and the pain of IT.<br />

A little dream of flags on an inky ship,<br />

in a land of mock believe.<br />

Open sesame, steady your knees.<br />

Oh, I will...<br />

<br />

Your love is a flower I pluck from your hair.<br />

We park by the water; our bodies laid bare.<br />

The right of the wrong. The sound of the song.<br />

You will - you will be happy.<br />

Despite of the shit and the pain of IT<br />

A little dream of flags on an inky ship,<br />

But you will ride five colored horses<br />

Open sesame. Steady your knees.<br />

Oh, I will...
