歌詞
[Intro] [Verse] Silk threads of a summer day Woven in a velvet way I catch the things you throw away And make them something you can play I ask the ghosts to come and stay Before the colors fade to gray [Interlude] "She said the sugar was too cold." "I told her the weather felt like a blue dress." [Verse] Felt and wire, stars and fire Lifting up your soul's desire Stardust drips from every spire Memory is a holy liar Feathered brims that hold the light Casting shadows through the night Every stitch is pulled too tight Turning wrong into the right [Interlude] "I think I left my keys in 1994." "The waiter just laughed and brought more bread." [Verse] Give me a secret from your youth I’ll stitch it to a golden tooth Forget the bitter, jagged truth And wear this crown of velvet proof The felt is thick with old regrets And things a lonely heart forgets We cast our wide and silken nets To pay off all our cosmic debts [Bridge] Identity is a shifting tide Nowhere left for you to hide Take the hat and step inside The ghost is now the blushing bride I weave the skin you used to wear Into a ribbon for your hair A heavy weight you cannot bear Dissolving in the frozen air [Interlude] "The pigeons are late today." "Usually they watch the clock on the corner." [Verse] The cash register rings a bell Buying heaven, selling hell Every hat has a story to tell Inside this hollow, woven shell The nose flute plays a crooked line The strings begin to intertwine Your history is no longer mine It’s aging like a sour wine [Verse] Spinning tape and broken strings Listen to the song it brings Every hat has heavy wings And all the bells begin to rings Nostalgia is a clever thief Who turns the flower back to leaf Providing such a strange relief In every stitch of golden grief [Outro]
