lyrics

THE BACKYARD

Stanza 1
Tonight I fall and crumple
Like a nightdress discarded in haste, I taste
of shadows and accumulated betrayals of childhood

Chorus 1
Stars, I promise you, are an aphrodisiac
You only look on with dull reception
You only look on with no perception of

of what it means to me
those things you cannot see
the grass under you feet
It’s more than shades of green

Stanza 2
You possess at best a small and dubious understanding, standing
together, yet so alone

Spout my brilliant nonsense
Defend my constellations
Devoured by your silence
are all my explanations of

of what it means to me
those things you cannot see
the grass under your feet
it’s more than shades of green

Outro ah, ah, ah, haah.
