lyrics

Well I feel you watching me
Underneath a flatbush sun,
But from your grassy seat
You only see a loaded gun.
Yes we are children yet
But darling girl do not forget
My old bones groan for you
And I am blue.

So I tried to keep my wit
But he ran off through the dark
Cause he heard there's something
Infinite hiding down in Prospect Park.
So we'll barricade the slope
And see what vows the breezes wrote
As we dreamed so quietly,
You and me.

And I'm all skin and bone,
Stripped of all my summer clothes,
Cause you tell me that we're
Protesting with winter in July
Until summer devil cries for more,
And she will call our name.
Oh we'll never be the same.

So won't you take me home,
Won't you drown me in your sheets?
What's left unsaid within our heads
Is tangled in our feet.
Oh my god my Jessie Lee
Did you ever think on how we'd be
A mile above the moon?
Just us two.

And I'm all skin and bone,
Stripped of all my ancient clothes.
And I'm shocked to find
The real revolution lies
Deep within her chocolate eyes
And I am compromised,
Ostracized,
I'm so paralyzed.
Oh I'll never be the same.
