Wickerbird – Towertop Lyrics

been around
sticks and stone
for month or so

all the while
all I know
could be terra-formed

and though
their pocketbooks are vacant,
vagabonds and vagrants
always will know

and though
our bones are newly naked
petty, drunk and shakin
were buried in clothes

but you
seldom see carnations
springing into bloom
god almighty shaking
aching too
bowers where your sisters
whisper in the gloom
towertop's in cinders
all too...

soon
and mama wrote
you be coming home

oooh
my wanton coat
my loss in Jericho

cause even in the sty you
never see the lies you'd
ever been told

and even though I try to
in the woods
I'm never alone

but you
seldom hear them ringing
sleigh bells in the noon
callow bodies singing
of the moon
galavanting gosling
walking through the room
all decanting something
of the...

of the swoon

but you
seldom see carnations
springing into bloom
god almighty shaking
aching too
bowers that your sisters
whisper in the gloom
towertop's in cinders
all too...
