Califone Polish Girls Lyrics

the words avoid my tongue
a wish to awake picture-less
to lean your fever up against mine-

trees are growing from our grave
roots are tangled in our bones.

-polish girls in ruins tease
like Chinese letters left undone
On a black wall invitation
Say goodnight/before you go

Cut lips on frozen words
cracked teeth on hard syllables
Wolf's milk and painted eggs an opium eater's dream

Polish girls in silent tease ruined and undone

-when the moon decides to show
a writing spiders counts your teeth
something broke in you before your heart stopped
ticking/you go undone
____
cold & quiet
ocean lungs peel away
time & distance a black wall invitation
calm & lost the ripeness of the hour
a black wall invitation say goodnight
baptize this off of me
before we turn bad.
