lyrics

You’ve got a rabbit and a cat getting drunk on your head and they’re delicately
Going for your ears, sweet and polychromatic like a painting by Dali
And it’s not that I regret renting out that private jet from Muhammed Ali
But the crickets in my head are singing purple, green and red and it is all I can see
In this endless sea

You’ve got to face the facts and dive into the lack of a rhyme in your soliloquy
By the time you catch your breath you won’t have any sugar left and you will drown in ecstasy
And it’s not that I regret making Oscar Wilde upset when I took his virginity
But there’s a choice I couldn’t make: getting blue or getting baked for free.

Oh, I slip through these slow emotions
Oh, I trip through these slow emotions

Just like old Robby Zimmy said, beauty walks a razor’s edge and it won’t stop stinging me
Your tangerine grace that I will never embrace but in my lurid fantasies
A million flames that never stop where the curtains never drop and love is constantly
Pouring into cups but never filling to the top and so you’re swimming endlessly

Oh, I slip through these slow emotions
Oh, I trip through these slow emotions
