those kisses
you stole from me that night
in the street
beneath the yellow light
felt like silver fishes
swimming from my mouth to yours

Magnolia Queen, Magnolia Queen
Launch one thousand ships
Oh, carry me back to the in-between
Magnolia Queen, Magnolia Queen

The shadows will dance, the shadows will dance
The fire burns hot
From the iron king cobra’s trance
The shadows will dance, the shadows will dance

Oh, carry me home, oh carry me home
Through the absinthe seas
Watching the watchman mumble and drone
Oh, carry me home, oh carry me home

Whittling the trees, whittling the trees
Planets do align
To the face of the Magnolia Queen
Oh, only to the Magnolia Queen

When I come they see reflections.
They smile and pay attention.
For I am what they know lies inside.
Then they go back to their busy lives.
Nobody takes the time to find
out. Who's the bread and
who's the wine.

fly into the clouds
along the wind and the birds
find her, my lover
she left me wounded, speechless
hope she can read your sweet words
