Missed my flight to Johannesburg In this heat time seems absurd Long shadows pantomime my skin Nostalgia wants to be my friend
No one can you hear me I've pieced you back together Of sex linen and weather Clover teeth and string No one can you feel me I made you out of feathers Minutes pennies and leather Show tunes and cavities
Even elephants can cry salty tears While I haven't wept for seven years My crows feet walk across the mirror It's only tomorrow who gets old here
So I'm mailing a letter To the port of Cassis Oh I intend to let her Get the best of me Sky is split with lightning Like my personality The royal we sip Darjeeling And talk politics with trees
