lyrics

Oh heavens, unwind
Unwrap me from this cotton wool
Dissolve my zap straps, I’ll unspool
And blether round
I’ll make small sounds
I’ll smell as good as coffee grounds
Go marching on
Till I can’t then you put me down
Somewhere contained, somewhere so clean
Just not the shelf of a museum

Very little want haunts me
Very little want haunts me
Mostly I want
To see him grown and not alone
And full of fire that is his own
I hold him tight when he comes to me
Very little haunts me

Oh heavens, be kind
Be lightning be electrical
Crack open see what’s in my skull
I’ll play and sing
Like anything
Wrap round your finger like a ring
Yes, I will marry you
The heavens and the hellfire too
I’ll take it all
Though I am so small
I’ll be your free radical

Very little want haunts me
Very little want haunts me
Mostly I want
Like all along just one more song
To find my hands, I’ll sing along
I’ll wake at night when you come to me
Very little haunts me

Oh heavens, unwind
Unwrap me from this cotton wool
Dissolve my zap straps, I’ll unspool
Gather round
I’ll make the sounds
I’ll save the fox retrain the hounds
Yeah, I will go marching on
Till I can’t then you put me down
Somewhere contained, somewhere so clean
Just not the shelf of a museum
Please light me up like gasoline
I will build myself a mausoleum
Made of music and the cracks between
I will sing ‘em as I see ‘em
Just let me dissipate and be unseen
