Fingers, long lovely fingers
Clawing at the river bed
Rivulets rivulets rivulets

Trickling rivulets of red
Blisters, blisters on my insides
My lungs two sacks of fire

I think I hear me crying, crying
Beg forgiveness from the sky


Run your ladder up my tree
Here kitty kitty, here kitty kitty kitty
Shake the branches carefully

Here kitty kitty, here kitty kitty kitty
Looking danger in the eye
Here kitty kitty, here kitty kitty kitty

Rescue kittens hypnotized

Thighs and ankles at odd angles

Legs will do as they see fit
Limber limber falling timber
That's why I say:

Keep me keep me lover
Keep me keep me dear
Keep me keep me lover

Keep me keep me near

Run your ladder up my tree

Here kitty kitty, here kitty kitty kitty
Shake the branches carefully
Here kitty kitty, here kitty kitty kitty

Looking danger in the eye
Here kitty kitty, here kitty kitty kitty
Rescue kittens hypnotized


Run your ladder up my tree
The tree of life is dead to me

Dangling in the evening sky
Don't let that blue eyed kitty die
She loves the moon

I love the moon
She wants to buy it
But if we try, it might turn out to be too heavy

If it sinks into the river, I'll be a midnight swimmer
And the two of us can push it up the levee
She loves the moon

I adore the moon
It's like a gold doubloon
No collector can appreciate it's worth

And as the day gives way to night
The moon reflects the dying light
As the sun retreats to hide behind the earth

Two little angels went down to the river
Tossing in pebbles and stones
Two little angels sat down by the water

And one little angel came home
She loves the moon
It's true, I do

She wants to swallow it
She tried to follow it on her bike thru City Park
Lost in milky dreams, she pedaled thru the silver beams

Her eyes two spinning saucers in the dark
She loves the moon
Just look at that glorious moon

It makes her sway and swoon
It draws the tide across her heart in gentle rhythms
But raging currents far below

Conjure up an undertow
And drag her down to depths no man can fathom
Two little angels went down to the river

Tossing in pebbles and stones
Two little angels sat down by the water
And one little angel came home


Keep me keep me lover
Keep me, keep me here

Keep me, keep me lover
Keep me, keep me near

Run your ladder up my tree
Shake the branches carefully

Looking danger in the eye
Rescue kittens hypnotized
Run your ladder up my tree
Bring her safely home to me
I hear her gently start to cry

As the moon illuminates the sky
