Orcas

Asleep in the garden
You have a dream we have an arc
And all the orcas come around because they love you

They gather at the hull
And while I watch you sing them lullabies
I accidentally break the arc in two

And flying through this city
Like we own this fucking city
All the lights turn red to green
Because they love you

And I follow the North Star
Into a parting sea of cars
Until I laugh
Until I crash into the W Hotel

And suddenly
I'm standing
In a line that winds down the hill

Climbing up the tower
You come untied to gravity's power
Because it loosened up its grip
Because it loves you

But still you have to fall to fall
And save me from my fall
For while I watched you climb so fast
My grip had come loose too

And falling through the ocean
We can feel the wild motion
Of the orcas who return
Because they love you

Now from the ocean floor
I watch them push you like a newborn
Toward the air above you

And suddenly
I'm standing
In a line that winds down the hill

The line is made
Of babes who say
They're feeling sacrificial

Don't forget to dream
Something dreamy about me

Don't forget to dream
Something dreamy about me
