Cassiopeia - Joanna Newsom

[00:00.666]Feel the mattress tense beneath me
[00:05.264]Like the muscle of non-sleepy
[00:09.940]Feathers flexing will defeat me
[00:14.459]And it vexes me completely
[00:19.788]And the hexes heat covertly
[00:24.072]Like a slow low-flying turkey
[00:28.539]Like a Texan drying jerky
[00:33.032]But his meaty mitts can't hurt me
[00:37.682]With my steely will compounded
[00:41.757]In a mighty mound that's hounded
[00:46.171]By the snap your steel string sounded
[00:50.664]Just before your snores unwound it
[00:55.262]And in store are dreams so daring
[00:59.807]That the night can't stop from staring
[01:04.953]And I'll swim sweetly as a herring
[01:09.655]Through the ether, not despairing
[01:14.514]Go to sleep, you stunning sky
[01:23.317]Gently creep cunning by
[01:31.389]A quiet hum is amplified
[01:39.592]By your thumb, that you suck dry
[01:48.082]Hundred raging waters
[01:50.929]Snare the lonely sigh
[01:56.336]Oh you hold your breath
[01:58.687]And clasp at Cassiopeia
[02:06.968]Hundred raging waters
[02:10.103]Snare the lonely sigh
[02:15.301]Oh you hold your breath
[02:17.600]And clasp at Cassiopeia
[02:25.045]Cassiopeia, Cassiopeia
[02:36.513]Oh oh, Cassiopeia
[02:43.644]
