bumble bee - the wave pictures lyrics

Loading...

the first one in was a bumble bee
crawled in the window & he stared at me
with lips as thin as you not smiling
not wide enough for a lie to hide in
the first i saw was a bumble bee

& he told me i’d wasted your precious time
hitting out at the walls of a tiny mind
he worked his way right through the skin
this thin skin i slumber in
the first i saw that bumble bee

& the next one in was a dancing frog
he had a song for each one i had lost
& he bent his legs around the hours
at the foot of the bed where i had soured
the next one in was a dancing frog

he said, “you never moved, you never danced
never rode a melody into chance
never sang one song true enough
to call the birds back to the loft
you never moved, you never danced”

& the next one in was a stipple-back fish
the next one in was a stipple-back fish
he said, “i would grant you three wishes
but i’m not in the business of giving out wishes”
the next one in was a stipple-back fish

& the last i saw the stipple-back fish
the last i saw the stipple-back fish
his gills filled up with the dust
of a room that’s not seen anything much
the last i saw that stipple-back fish

& the last one in was a winter moth
the last one in was a winter moth
like me he’d nothing to say
he laughed at the fish & fluttered away
the last one in a winter moth

frantic & flapping & brittle & soft
the last one in that winter moth
like me he’d nothing to say
he laughed at the fish & fluttered away
the last one in that winter moth
