lyrics

Long months of sleep, all shades of grey
We’re dreaming deep, we’ve turned away
The season’s turning anyway

Uncovered sky
Sweet drink of light
This mud is mine
Hey crazy eyes, that’s what I’m like

The ground stuck a claim on my name when it raised me
A spore, a shoot, adored, a burst cocoon
I’d forgotten what it’s like, I’ve been pushing up daisies

Uncovered sky
Trees take your flight
This mud is mine
Hey crazy eyes, we’re so alike

Well I can’t leave my house without my burning brain
I force it out the door and let it lose its shape
To fill the space
And in a rushing stream, your tired mind may find a kind of fragile peace

Leaning out the window
Grinning like a fool
Let some sunlight in here
Let some sunlight in
Climbing out the wormhole
Grinning like a fool
Let some sunlight in here
Let some sunlight in

You see that flower over there, it’s called a primrose, yeah it comes out in the spring
You see that flower over there, it’s called a periwinkle, yeah it comes out in the spring
You see that creature over there, it’s called a toad, you know it comes out in the spring
You see that geezer over there, he’s called Bill Oddie, yeah he comes out in the spring
