griffy jones & the phantom band - delilah lyrics
[verse 1]
dreaming of delilah
who had a little less all of the time
echo would ring her bell
and bring up
a blanket
or a bottle
of brandy
or blueberry wine
but now the room is silent
the buzzer hasn’t rung in a while
[verse 2]
earlier in sunlight
they had thought of her lazy desires
for bigger things
and better ways
embodied now
in sprawling days
without an old delilah beside
but now their sitting
in their favourite chair
in delilah’s kitchen
[verse 3]
chatting
shooting sh+t
about action
while spending the night
watching ‘best cat reactions’
try not to laugh
their greatеst challenge
is pushing on passion
instead of just passing thе time
[verse 4]
so as echo’s waking
jane is downstairs stoking a fire
the house is warm
the air is full
of snowflakes and drumming
of fingers and full hearts
brimmed with b+tterflies
[verse 5]
in an alternate dimension
she wakes and as usual tries
to call her friend
but it always
goes straight to voicemail
no service on the other side
dialling numbers one by one
one and one preceded by 9
but considering their hatred
of police involvement
she throws down her phone and cries
“i wonder if they think of me often”
“it k!lls me to fear that they’ve died”
[verse 6]
sobbing “how did they get to robbing
and running leaving their world behind?”
screaming all of this into soaked through sheets
from sweating and shivering all night
while dreaming
thinking of trying new things
fresh ontologies
the next bottle of cheap gin
autoplay keeping the good times rolling
sipping on shot glass of serotonin
dreamin of wakin each sleeping moment
chaos unfolding like hesiod’s box flying open
releasing
bad omens
