I want a child that never grows
And a love that’ll never get too old
No slow days, there’s an everchanging pulse
Busy nights, the brightest lights
You get your cake and eat it too
I want to wake up to parades
And neon billboard signs where the colours never fade away
It’s the happiest of all memorial days
A slow retreat, a fast defeat
If you’re still alone i’d like to come back home
I have been sleeping with the wolves
Velvet sheets, the fattest sheep, and an everblowing cold breeze —
It’s like the planet’s just for me
There’s so much earth, so much ash, so much sea
