Rickety

She's so wonderful
Like summer
But I lay prone
In the shadow of your conquered hill
Averting my eyes, I stay still
I once was wonderful like summer

I flew away
In hopes to build another nest
Just to realize Ive used
The twigs from the old one I thought Id left
And clever you, youd already drawn the line

I'll ride this streetcar right to the end
I don't mind the paper moon
We can love, if we can pretend
You want in?

Taking swigs
Of compensation
As envy dances
Behind screens, in teasing silhouettes
Another glass of lust replaced
Another glass to kill the aftertaste

Funny animals
It seems they want before they feel
I wonder if they've ever lost at all

I'll ride this streetcar right to the end
I don't mind the paper moon
We can love, if we can pretend
You want in?

great lyrics :) and a really nice, smooth effortlessness to the vocals, really suits the lyrics, would love to hear this recorded with a good and some acoustic backing, perhaps double bass too! nice to see original content, not just covers, thanks!

Superb lyrics,

Taking swigs

Of compensation

As envy dances

Behind screens, in teasing silhouettes

Another glass of lust replaced

Another glass to kill the aftertaste

Doesnt get any better than that i love it
