owen pallett - horsetail feathers lyrics

Loading...

i’m smarter than a chair until it needs red paint
then i’m amazed in a forest of stares
crying oil, and picking horsetail feathers
from my eyes

oh-huh, a-hoo, a hoo!

a grin of shadows press my face
i am a forger or a fake
who dabs and bursts each blood-filled egg
and whips his raw steak of a brush into an -ss

oh-huh, a-hoo, a hoo!

i wanna quit with all my skin
but i can’t find a place to sit
with all this red on my hands
or even trace these slapdash tears back
to the start

oh-huh, a-hoo, a hoo!

i coat it twice, and thrice
i rub it on like it’s tan lotion
and like a child, i let it stream
watching it ebb, full of emotion

my neighbour stares, i’m red as mars
he’s smarter than a can of paint
“it looks real nice” he finally says
“and where’s your lovely wife today?”

“she’s in the house baking a cake.”

oh-huh, a-hoo, a hoo!
