joanna newsom – clam crab cockle cowrie lyrics
that means no
where i come from
i am cold, out waiting for the day to come
i chew my lips
and i scratch my nose
feels so good to be a rose
oh don’t
don’t you lift me up
like i’m that shy no-no-no-no-no, just give it up
see, there are bats all dissolving in a row
into the wishy-washy dark that can’t let go
i cannot let go
so i thank the lord
and i thank his sword
though it be mincing up the morning, slightly bored
oh oh oh, morning
without warning
like a hole
oh, and i watch you go
there are some mornings when the sky looks like a road
there are some dragons who were built to have and hold
and some machines are dropped from great heights lovingly
and some great bellies ache with many b-mblebees
and they sting so terribly
i do as i please
now i’m on my knees
your skin is something that i stir into my tea
and i am watching you
and you are starry, starry, starry
(and you will never
ever know how
very sorry you will be
… i am)
and i’m tumbling down
and i check a frown
well just look around
that’s why i love this town
to see me;
serenaded hourly
celebrated sourly
dedicated dourly
waltzing with the open sea
clam, crab, c-ckle, cowrie
will you just look at me!
oh, oh, oh, oh
oh, oh, oh, oh
