LYRICS:
A Chatelaine that ruts.
A blue flower at dusk.
A dress remembers a kiss by the sea.
From me-me-me-me.

1000 buds.
On a crown.
You meet me by the prow of the ferry.
And you buy me the sea.

You hollow my hand.
Dig out its deepest freeze.
You kiss me around:
I want to spit in the sea.

And you put a little light on the wretch that is me.
You come and you tug on my sleeve.

Well I am the beery butt.
Here comes the cut.
Here comes the rut.
To dither for me.

My little stove is hot.
My blue flowers in a pot.
My hand upon the dresser's drawer:
kitsch memory.

You hollow my hand.
Dig out its deepest freeze.
You kiss me around:
I want to spit in the sea.

And you put a little light on the wretch that is me.
You come and you tug on my sleeve.
Are you better, my friend?
I'll miss you by the sea.
