lyrics

I just skipped my brothers wedding
Because his lover once was mine, it’s complicated
When I was only a child, I’d tell all my teachers
I would ride on the backs of little dinosaurs I trained

Hey you can’t tell me that I’m acting out of place
This is my planet too, this is my planet too

I would take up all the cactus(i)
Put them in the pillow case of my little sis
What a dark child
Well my skin has always been tan
Is it because I am always in the sun

Oh no I am not in the darkness
It is now only dawning and I’m dancing in the sun

There was always quite the elephant inside my parents house
Right on the table
I don’t think it was a white one
It was so fantastic, very colourful

Hey you can’t tell me that I’m acting out of place
This is my planet too, this is my planet too

Oh no I am not in the darkness
It is now only dawning and I’m dancing in the sun

Oh no I am not in the darkness
It is now only dawning and
I’m dancing in the sun

Voice that pierces and soothes like a butter thorn. Music slowly gliding over moonlit grass. Lyrics that depict and dissect a soul in such an intimate way that her soul becomes yours as yours becomes hers. muschiosauro
