lyrics

SPECIES OF NIGHTSHADE

Isn't she amazing,
while i smile and salt and sea
and snow and fog and mist and rain
and stare in disbelief?
Built her up on a slant
inside a forty years floodplain.
Lust, she is in my fingers!
Love, she is in my brain!

Shade species of nightshade,
see me brought before the light.
By turns, she can be poison,
or my antidote for life.

Do you believe in me?
Do you believe?
In anything?
In anything at all?

I feel normal.
I feel total.
Blow my sails
away, away, away!

Show my colors,
every color,
bright or dull.
You swear to close your eyes?
Your eyes, your eyes, your eyes?

Take me in one trip,
but leave some of me behind.
I need something to work with
when you leave me where I lie.

Steam comes off the ocean,
you will come off of my mind.
