lyrics

i like to look at tall things
like large thunder clouds
or trees full of rain

because i like feeling small
like my life means nothing at all
to the sun or moon or stars
or wings of our galaxy

because when youre small
you can see it all
how every little thing works
how we are not first
at all

i like to dream that i can fly
i like to dream that i can eat the moon
and let its pale white light
fill my belly

and i like to put all the stars
in the sky in my mouth
and feel the cold electricity run down my throat

i like to feel small

last year i lived in new york
and i disappeared for a year
and became one of the millions of people
living within a few square miles of each other
and i could feel it all
i could reach my hands down the alleyways
from uptown to downtown to the village
to brooklyn to queens
and i could feel all the whiskey and pabst blue ribbon beer
evaporate inside all of their stomachs
they were wonderful

and now im back in florida
and i see all my friends when i go outside
and how i wish i could put them all in my mouth
like little babies in a warm sink
and swallow them all
and keep them safe inside me
