lyrics

A snake dipped in ink
loosing sleep
dance and swing
Shedding old pale green skin
mouth open watering
in the afterglow of April

A bird builds its wings
underground in wells of ink
shedding old newspaper skin
feathers wet and shivering
in the afterglow of April

Picking up flowers from
the penthouse and the pavement
fairy dust on fairy dust
gasoline and innocence
glaciers are traveling
in submarines in between New York
and London

Ocean spray came crashing in
as we started dancing
a doomsday parade fell asleep
cold wind picked up the dust
and some paper planes took off
a Ferris wheel came alive

Let the wheel turn
