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
