Serpent tails and flying fish Sup up all the wishes That you sent to the stars Chinese dragons incandescent Mirrors in the waves I want to put them in jars
With my-y-y saltbreakers (Ringing all the underwater Underwater, underwater bells) Saltbreakers (Look inside a space Look inside a space and you can tell) Saltbreakers (What you need to sow What you need to know by any means)
You will not burn me up Though I've dreamed nightly of your face And walked the streets of my life With your singing in my silent brain You cannot burn me up I'm a fallen leaf who keeps her green And don't forget I've got my Trusty bag of oh-oh-oh
Saltbreakers (Flashing in the night Crashing all around my eyes) Saltbreakers (Throwing me down Turning on the fire flies) Saltbreakers (The ebb and the flood Clearing all the channels Of your heart)
Bleached by the dark Oceans of clouds Rainstorms of ash Stars on the ground All around my-y saltbreakers (Floating like a butterfly stinging like a bumblebee) Saltbreakers (Dashing alright, splashing Oh, and slumbering) Saltbreakers (Mirror to the serpentine stars)
