Fence 03:05
fence I don’t mind stayin here inside when it rains we're stuck until the leaves are dry then we could go out walkin in the sun I don't mind stayin out all night watchin stars fadin in and outta site stuck out on a roof lyin on our backs sealed fates in landlocked states don't it make you wanna tell a lie to everyone i don't mind bein left behind look at the dent in the pillow that was nexta mine slowly rise and disappear cut me in please don't cut me out i'll begin by ignorin what it's all about there's no time for freedom anymore wake me up at 5 am just to make me watch you go and then come back again see your breath: a breadcrumb trail don't you let it take away all the things you said you'd do to me when you were older wake me up at 5 am just to make me watch you go and then come back again see your breath: a breadcrumb trail don't you let it don't you let it and don't you let it catch you cause you’re sittin on the fence

We Growin Up too Slow Im starin at you in your summer shoes you don’t see me Im starin at you from across the room you wouldn't believe me Im catching the words that you threw away I’m inventing new phrases for you to say Where is my city Where is my home Where is this bed in which I’ve woken up alone Where is the reason Where is the rhyme Where is the hole in which I’ve buried all my time Oh I’m growin up too slow Oh I’m growin up too slow Oh I’m growin up too slow

Lyrics by Jonathan Lethem from his Promiscuous Songs Project. The Moth of the Bee of the Birds Pollinate? I'd prefer not to I'd prefer anything to being the moth of the bee of the birds Find a mate? I'd prefer not to I'd prefer anything to bee-ing, to bird-ing the moth of the bee of the birds It's not that I don't know about that stuff I know the words but I'd rather hum I'd rather play dumb I'm the moth of the bee the moth of the bee the moth of the bee of the birds Unfortunate? I'd prefer not to I'd prefer anything to buzzing and nuzzling and fumbling with catches and hotel room latches I'll muzzle my powers ignore all your flowers and play dumb Not one of the birds Not one of the bees Not one of the buzzers and lovers I'm the moth of the bird of the bees
