Branches

The branches were tangled and they fought like little scraps Selling the paper and throwing their handicaps The devil crept up And made me suffer And I told her I loved her like I never loved her Ooh, ooh And I felt like losing it And she felt like twisting The air which did have it Oh I hadn't been listening So I lost my cool again Under a boulder So I wiped my brow with the sweat from her shoulder Ooh, ooh And she tasted sweeter Than whiskey and loneliness And my bones did circles Around everyone's holiness The dogs have been purring And the cats have been digging holes And nobody wonders Where they used to go Well i'm feeling stupid And scared that i love you And the birds in my stomach Are flying above you And the parents are laughing And teaching their kids to fly Out of my stomach And into your eyes Out of my stomach And into Your eyes Oh, oh, oh, oh
