lyrics

Take me walking through the streets outside my door. Show me something that I've never seen before, past the margins of abbreviated stares that reduce all objects to a scroll of passing fare. Slip through alleys, relieved of what they mean in the musty archives of childhood memory. Entire sections of the city at this time become deserted. I have no idea why. Skinny sidewalks taper off to small ellipses
and unclear stops. A hidden city comes to light on skinny sidewalks. Your dorsal tattoo expands with every breath. The pale cilia on your belly trembles when we speak in sleepy, dehydrated monotones: the drowsy discourse of cartographers at home. Skinny sidewalks taper off to small ellipses and unclear stops. A hidden city comes to light on skinny sidewalks. The final strains of light that creep through broken blinds make patterns on your face. Tiny little lines that slowly intertwine until they fade away. I want to know you, I want to know you. All there is to know. You've always been here, You've always been here. Walk with me along skinny sidewalks...
