Whims

lyrics

Tripped over campfires, fantastic
You wanna fight, I’ll fight
Show me to the room
Fell 100 miles
The Whims Will Purify

Walked through flames to get here
She spoke She spoke It broke
Broken plastic tinged with laughter
Exotic lipstick covers her face
The Whims Will Purify

Held onto raccoon hands
Blandscapes landscapes
Felt the world through frightened eyes
Molyneux touches the boxes
The Whims Will Purify

Makes dirt into shapes
Hands felt into fixations
Elixirs poured out for ancestors
How many will scratch for it
The Whims Will Purify

Fancy cars
Start the wars
Lost occupations
Signs in the streets

Stealthy voices
Blister their ears
Blank premonitions
Holding the future

And you’re hunting… hunting… hunting…
You’re hunting me
With your pickup and drop off
You didn’t show any restraint

Your phone is ringing
It is your prudence
Con art and convicts
You know you can’t see through this window

Past sunsets ascend
Into the ether
The stars are cutouts
Of Strife in Heraclitus

The eggman disemboweled
Hater’s on the prowl
Hunting the precious life
Streets of our daffodil city

Haikus and devil’s spells
They lead you astray
“Remember me,” he said
Fake money shines from above
We need extra lines
Tally the last of our failures

Whims upon the shores
Whims taken from us
Whims break our chests
Whims upon harbors
Whims within lovers

Glasses gather in masses
The holy burglar fakes
He takes he takes he takes places
Under the overpasses cinderblocks stacked
The whims will purify

Avoids the sun every day
Burns the queen of cups
Bars of soap and stars aghast
Takes off the pagan holidays
The Whims Will Purify

Porch paintings stolen slogans
Her red rooster china in flames
She doesn’t show any restraint
Fireworks blew the amplifier
The Whims Will Purify

You need a new best friend
Con artists and convicts
Past heights ascend
Her dogs dream of wealth
The Whims will Purify

The river is rising high
The whims will purify
The river is rising high
The whims will purify
