I want to be your absolute ultimate
Want to be your only one now
Feel the rays come up from your sulkiness
Feel the rays you radiate now
Sweet and plain,
Unsingable name
That rings in my mind now
That strums me like a string
Chime, unsingable name
Over everything.
Beware the thrum of hearts in your presence and
Watch the breeze that snaps at you now
All the dogs that bark from the fences and
Everything is wanting for you
Smirk on the face and fists in the clenches and
Make the radiator blow now
Crack the planks and shatter the lenses and
Mix the salt, the sugar, and flour
Slushing, sleeting through the blue gloom
Some long bell's lonely ring
Chime, unsingable name
Over everything
I want to see the mountains in silhouette
Want to split for Singapore now
Want to see the mystery trees
Want to hear the womanly sound.
I want to see the mystery trees.
I want to hear the womanly sound.
