De Soto de Son

Lyrics[]

Baby canteen, when I thought your heart stopped beating
The room brought out the silence in your breathing
A birth in wooded housing will help you live beyond the numbers
Let us pray to Pan, let in the light and see us bathe and sleep among us
Smell the body of our elders and wake up to the Milky Way at breakfast
I’ll take the time to pick up all the widow makers broken
No real way to remember if we'll work again


Color people say oh no, 'cause they think it’s contagious
Marshmallow people say oh yeah, cause they think it's a masterpiece


The sky has brakes, what a good day to rise
De Soto De Son will probably take all day
Goodbye blue heron, goodbye green fly, goodbye, goodbye


I’ve got a raft, you'll sail till the open lie in the lake
While your body is broken when you go out, I’ll cry in the thicket
Shooting from school, there’s a green where the crickets cry
Mom can't breathe and I know she's leaving
Birds on the quay are all food for the crocodile
So slow it down, it's not a race
Death takes time, do you see it?


Baby canteen, swollen fingers in the water
I roped an Island pony for your birthday
I'll live in wooded housing till they put out all your needles
And drop you in and shelter near the highway


Color people say oh no, 'cause they think it’s contagious
Marshmallow people say oh yeah, cause they think it's a masterpiece
