Lyrics
This gives the effect that one person didn't care, but
The other person was very frightened. The person that
Didn't care was probably making it up in this respect
Woven through your head like black thread
Tangling up everything you think
I want to snip it, roll it in a ball for
A kitten to play with stretched out on the floor
The days are long and the nights are long
But I'm sorry if I were Kronos
I would eat you up
You could live inside me warm and safe
Like a baby never born that never dies
Like a baby never born that never dies
And the hours like rollers you can't shift
Are piling up above me 'til the light is gone
And the seasons creep along so slowly
Like an elephant lonely lumbering on
I wanna pull you up from this well
So damp, dark and deep
And wrap you in a tinfoil sheet
Give you coffee in a paper cup
To warm your heavy bones as they decay
Saying, "I'm okay, I'm coming home today"
Just tell 'em I'm okay, I'm coming home today
And the servant, telling him to fetch someone, but he died
