There were ghosts in the houses made of clay Poisoned apples on their roofs and in the drains There was hope in my head when my head was full of brains Til I paid my pure perception to the wind
And the hunters that had hunted us were all staying indoors When the porridge that you poured started getting warm In the bitter light of day Maybe in May
All the trouble in her bathing ornaments Left the blood trickling down both arms to her wrists There was was fear in my guts but my guts are full of it And this patronizing pathos can be the best
Til the tulips that they trampled have grown up to be insane In the winter warmth I heard one of them say In the bitter light of day Maybe in May Maybe in May Maybe in May
Even if all the ghosts in their houses move away And all the skeleton filled closets get replaced There is hope in my head when my head is full of space And I will pay my pure perception to the waves
Til the forests that we fostered have grown stronger with the rain And in the winter warmth I felt the weather change In the bitter light of day Maybe in May Maybe in May In the bitter light of day maybe in May
