Miscellaneous

Lyrics

She was bite... I met her in miscellaneous She was biting on her lip We decided that speech was extraneous And embarked on a trip She said, "I've got my beauty and my youth" I said, "You've got a strange perception of the truth" And with a saxophone playing on the gramophone player We decided to call it a truce We called a yellow taxi cab to a blue kind of flat Situated somewhere in the middle of the city Shе showed me her cat and I gavе it a pat And she told me that its name was "kitty" With a loyalty usually reserved for royalty I never gave it a blink of my eye And, when the dawn broke, we were both filled with hope 'Cause I've been singing her a lullaby, that went like When these boots are worn, there'll be a mackerel sky Every single story cocoons a lullaby And all of Time is wondering 'round, wondering where to hide Butterflies are ugly now, so caterpillars cocoon up and die Die, they cocoon up and die Die, they cocoon up and die On St. Patrick's Day, we were both on our way Buying a leprechaun flowers I turned away, when I returned to pay The man said she's been gone for hours I went down to the sea, where I thought she would be The dockyard down there was abandoned At the old aerodrome, there was no one found home Nor the fields where I really imagined she'd be I hoped that she'd be, I watched and I waited to see They say Mom's a mad hatter, and she'll never get better I don't visit home, and I don't write her letters, but When these boots are worn, there'll be a mackerel sky Every single story cocoons a lullaby And the moon, as yet, has never dawned, most icebergs never thaw Every single camel's back is broken by a single straw When these boots are worn, there'll be a mackerel sky Every single story cocoons a lullaby And all of Time is wondering 'round, wondering where to hide Butterflies are ugly now, so caterpillars cocoon up and die
