Aphids (Bonus Track)

(album: Downward Is Heavenward - 1998)

All awake at bedside lifting through the afternoon
They said she says "must be by me.
Problems at the rose den
Tiny movements at the well
Faces alive they'll sweep by me."

Communicate with the pack as well
It's good how pure we can make him smell
Around you
It always feels the same

Resting in sunspots in the fading afternoon
Aphids abound, it's where they're only here to sleep by me

We need the light off and the window halfway wide
Aphids alive they sleep by me

Crumples of silence we are
Ringing off on our bells
Got on it
No way before us
In uncovered wakes in a real cell

Lovelaced companions made the day slip past too soon
Aphids astound, that's where they're only here to sleep by me
Arrested movement at the rose den and the well
Aphids alive, they'll sleep by me

Crumples of silence we are
Ringing off on our bells
Got on it
No way before us
In uncovered wakes in a real cell

Crumbles of silence we are
Each and all to ourselves
Got on it
No way before us
In uncovered wakes in a real cell
