Ablutions - Sleepytime Gorilla Museum
She folds her arms up nicely
Lays them down upon the table
Wipes her mouth off
As she tries to find another word for love
She hangs her skin up by the window
Looks to see that all the doors are open
Then she sits alone and wonders where you've gone
I counted your lingering
I counted time between thunder and lightning
I counted into silence counted chickens
Counted sheep counted
One thousand three
One thousand four
One thousand five
One thousand six
One thousand seven
One thousand eight
One thousand nine
One thousand ten
One thousand eleven
One thousand twelve
One thousand thirteen
One thousand fourteen
One thousand fifteen
One thousand sixteen
One thousand seventeen
One thousand eighteen
One thousand nineteen
One thousand twenty
One thousand twenty one
One thousand twenty two
One thousand twenty three
Twenty six twenty seven twenty eight
Twenty nine thirty thirty one thirty two
Thirty three thirty four thirty five
Thirty six thirty seven
Upstairs she hears the space
Between the words you never said
She licks the tiny stone she gave herself
And swallows all her worry
Won't you leave forever
Won't you leave for good
