Conjectures of a Guilty Bystander (Live)
You are a gardener You cultivate my soul You water thirsty vines That snake along my spine In case I forget to shiver
You are a carpenter You build the scaffolding Replace the windowpane I see the sky again As if I've been delivered
You are a fisherman My weather lets you know When and when not to wait Your hook's inside the bait I'm wary but I swallow
You are a messenger You bring me all the news The kind that never lies It's written in my eyes You beckon and it follows
I get to be guilty I
You are a singer too Carry me like a tune Like a newborn child Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com I'm wrapped up for a while You're swaying like a hobo
You are a circus clown I've never laughed before Beneath your canopy Oh, say a prayer for me I want this in a photo
So be a photographer I'm dancing naked now Across the maple floor Above the lion's roar Your pictures will protect me
You must be a scientist by now With rumpled midnight hair You've studied every pore And every follicle Of my bewildered body
I get to be guilty I
Yours is a different light I like my face that way The canvas of my skin Serene and strange but true
