lyrics

The Dreams of Animals

You are like the dreams of animals
You are half finished with an inexplicable delight
You wear the skin the fur the feathers of another life
I have fallen further faster ever, ever, ever

I had a plan, long, long ago
But it went wrong
And it's too late, not long to go
Below, below, below

You are a velcro puppet confession box
Sin flounders on your rocky promontory helplessly
I leave a note I pay the bill there is a trace of me
I build an alibi from tiny pieces of the universe


Faith in love will undo your dreams
The dreams that lie in darkness in the comfort of the night
Only love will undo your seams

You have survived so many times
It's no surprise your stitches strain
And your patches are a patchwork
Throw it out and start again
As if to quote yourself repeatedly
Will somehow clear your head
The thread is lost and now unravelling
