Verse
She could not control her guilty smile
I slept alone that night

It was on Christmas Day that nothing came
and nothing went away
The sunflowers that make you wait

while broken skins float down kitchen drains
Cicadas beat a rhythm, landscapes of music,
I pull the blinds


Sunflowers on the meadow, fixed in tireless fires
Sunlit water sparkles out your eyes


Chorus:


The Anesthetist drank all my wine
I took a bus back in time
and hid under my table

Bony limbs of tired restless children
the hot seats of a car
the singing of summer traveling

She stroked my legs with bitten fingertips
sunset fell on painted lips
the moon shone out like a halo

My face against the warm grassy air
your suntanned derrière
with despair I loved you with intentions


Verse:
Hurricane scratches out a skyline, fear of wasted years

leads me to dream a while
Sought the flesh of younger girls in his twilight years,
maybe he'll get lucky tonight

Here I am, awoken by the tulips,
your stubborn pouted lips wouldn't caress my name
I roll into my convalescent shade, I play a little game

I see you do the same

Your heart a battleship, you're weeping

hotel stops the rain
A horse compares its tail
to its mane



Chorus:


The Anesthetist drank all my wine
I took a bus back in time

and hid under my table
Bony limbs of tired restless children
the hot seats of a car

the singing of summer traveling
She stroked my legs with bitten fingertips
sunset fell on painted lips

the moon shone out like a halo
My face against the warm grassy air
your suntanned derrière

with despair I loved you with intentions
