I walk along a fluke
Played alongside a flute
Sullen wings and dark tattoos
Mark the humid lovers pool

Run along you solemn fool
Maybe one day you'll feel new
You can claim you want to lose
But still you won't take off your shoes

Little lovers on a whim
Make love till the lights dim
Love again, and love again
Maybe one day we'll all be friends

Although hearts are made of tin
Feelings range from no to yes
Thoughts go from hate to bliss
We wish for an almost kiss to kiss

This is for my flowers soul
Who wilted before it could grow
Began to sprout before the snow
Now it's just a cavern without a glow

Never knew if it was a tulip or rose
Never felt its roots or stem at all
Only saw the green withdrawal
And hoped it'd return at my call

Still I walk the fluke until the end
Lovers love along inside a whim
Flowers die at life's precipice
And my heart beats along despite all of this

With these many lines in blood
And these little lives and love
With these many lines in blood
And these little lives and love
