Lyrics

SWEET PENNY FACE
Come away —
I'll show you my sweet penny face
Got time to kill
no time to — create

Lay me a sky
lay me a table
I'll be your kite
your too long ladle

Come on wade with me in the shallows
In my shoes, sure, hide your valuables
Because waves will knock you off your feet 
on the beach all those sweet kids are thieves

We will dine on a custom fragrance 
we will fly on winged equations 
we will lie on sticky paper 
we will die a little later

But won't you make do 
babe won't you sing those blues, 
no one sings like you,
won't you sing it, sing it

Won't you please make do, 
babe won't you sing those blues, 
no one sings like you, 
won't you sing sing it sing it, 
sing it sing it sing it, sing

I was a lonely sailor drifting 
Siren song set my hair lifting
Like the voice of Christmas past 
T'was air whistling from my raft 

My heart is full of wax and wane 
pass off my cracks as healthy veins
I will not burn under the flame 
I'll simply run into the drain

It's standing still that breaks the statue
Sincere wishes lead to tattoos
Try to fix the rate of truth you
find your wage is paid in cashews

My heart's full of tidal pools
stranded minnows flashing jewels 
muscled moons and muffled wolves
shrunken wool and special tools

But won't you please make do
babe won't you sing those blues,
no one sings like you,
won't you sing it sing it

Won't you please make do, 
babe won't you sing those blues, 
no one sings like you, 
won't you sing it, sing it, sing it, 
sing it, sing it, sing it, sing it blue
