THE SHINS lyrics : "Pink Bullets"

I was just bony hands as cold as a winter pole
You held a warm stone out new flowing blood to hold
Oh what a contrast you were

To the brutes in the halls
My timid young fingers held a decent animal.


Over the ramparts you tossed
The scent of your skin and some foreign flowers
Tied to a brick

Sweet as a song
The years have been short but the days were long.


Cool of a temperate breeze from dark skies to wet grass
We fell in a field it seems now a thousand summers passed
When our kite lines first crossed

We tied them into knots
And to finally fly apart
We had to cut them off.


Since then it's been a book you read in reverse
So you understand less as the pages turn

Or a movie so crass
And awkardly cast
That even I could be the star.


I don't look back much as a rule
And all this way before murder was cool

But your memory is here and I'd like it to stay
Warm light on a winter day.


Over the ramparts you tossed
The scent of your skin and some foreign flowers
Tied to a brick

Sweet as a song
The years have been short but the days go slowly by
Two loose kites falling from the sky

Drawn to the ground and an end to flight.
