lyrics

take it down from the scent above your shoulder
upturned faces at the cases of neurosis
a blue above
is casting all over
a clue, my love
I need one, I do

do this for you if you'll take it from me
to give it up, give it up
to the people in need
the mixed message
to shrug off your shoulder
a fixed message
for the eye of beholder

beholden to all the people you knew
you cut hard at the links that bonded you to
the patron saints
too soon sent to heaven
no one plus one don't equal eleven

twelve plus one that's a baker's dozen
that's an unlucky number for an untrue husband
who flew with you
a fit at the weather
he never knew
you'd fly like a feather
and whip around on a whistle of the wind

we're slowing up and we can see it's a sin
but set a pinwheel turning it's only gonna spin
so many times
till it's needing another
flick of the wrist
or the friction'll smother

the airflow that made the sailing smooth
there's only one kinda word that's really gonna sooth
your many wounds
of a synthetic redness
smothered life force
but I've been sensing a deadness

it's gaining ground through a seed well sowed
it's catching up, seizing up
all your features to stone
your eye, my dear
is falling from focus
I'll try, you'll hear
to locate the locus

of memories I thought were safe in the bank
needn't look too far for those we should thank
for pulling out
of the race after miles
full of doubt
it would take such a while
and whip around on a whistle of the wind
