[Verse 1]
I caught a glimpse out the window
A Polish graveyard filled with widows
I coddle a bottle of warm beer
I see a pool of liquid tears
Glimmering so sweet and mellow
A sea of lilting, wilting willow
A secret book of forgotten wishes
Drown in ponds with broken dishes
[Chorus]
The moon asked the crow for a little show
In the hazy milk of twilight, no one had to know
The moon asked the crow for a little show
In the hazy milk of twilight, no one had to know
[Verse 2]
Angel brother, I miss your hair
Careless nature, gentle stare
You fell like rain in the dark abysses
Kissed the lips of bloody twinses
Sung to by a slew of sirens
Tricky mermaids, evil pirates
[Verse 3]
You watched the sky with kaleidoscopic eyes
Howling out right to the blasphemous night
A wolf in the garden, why do you linger so?
Like a silky snail soul, the moon asked the crow
[Chorus]
For a little show
In the hazy milk of twilight, no one had to know
The moon asked the crow for a little show
In the hazy milk of twilight, no one had to know
The moon asked the crow for a little show
In the hazy milk of twilight, no one had to know
