Dusty Groove

[Verse 1]
Even in an evening gown
You always got your sleeves rolled all the way down
Messages you wrote were to be read alone
A laundry list in a clenched fist never meant to be shown

[Verse 2]
Can you read my mind? Then how was my day today?
Ask the river to divine, what does the river say?
Flash of bone like a lightning strike
Ran down the line, shot up your spine like a shorted out mic

[Chorus]
Swallow the sky
Swallow the sea
Number one with a bullet
No, you can't catch me
Swallow your pride
Just follow me
Tie it down inside where the nightmares hide
Let the poor girl be

[Verse 3]
All the while that winning smile
Pale and still draining Snow White's blackout vial
Underneath your sweater ten fingers all red
I bequeath this gold map of the stars to the living dead

[Chorus]
A little songbird singing
Inside my head
Smack down on the sofa
Breakfast in bed
Swallow the sky
Swallow the sea
Number one with a bullet
No, you can't kill me
Swallow your pride
Just follow me
Let the poor girl be
