lyrics

when he saw ghost of electricity howling in the bones of my face
I said you must have been raised on the same godwords and fathers as me
Neptune's daughter, you must have been fed the same water from some neighboring bed.
cycling year round like every oscillation power from idols to thieves

When i bought him flowers with the rains i made,
he stung like a honeybee n brought me to my knees.
granted my palms had cracked this whip, case open like our pomegranates
blooming rubies rich as artists with kids, bleeding stupid crash our miscarriages

and when he turned a square on a dime, angling away with the wind at his side
we said “maybe someday we’ll align, jinx one two three for five”
“wait, you got anymore to spend on me?”
“you got anymore to spend on me?”
he says “wait, you got anymore to spend on me?”
so I juice the juke box and we both drink for free
drink for free

Thank you for the second album. Got all three now on Bandcamp and they inspire me so much. Kids in school, then work, and kids back from school - then baths and homework - AND FINALLY a bit of time in my cobbled together mini studio in my one bedroom flat. YOU inspire me to make the effort to make all that stuff work. Sentient Helicopters
