Cloudflakes

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Sitting in the big black oven What a clever place to hide With my eyes wide open My face is a flaming pie [Verse 2] Bare-naked in the kitchen And everyone sleeping tight The clock goes to seven I dance but I don't know why [Verse 3] I'm standing in the schoolyard Waiting for my teacher to come She looks gently downward And picks me up in the sun [Verse 4] I'm chewing cloudflakes I'm falling apart One when my mind aches One for my heart [Verse 5] I'm making mistakes When I'm counting stars One when the light breaks One in the dark [Verse 6] I'm standing in the shelter Waiting for my mother to come She left me in winter And she'll pick me up in the fall [Verse 7] The ocean is friendly The ocean is mine Caught in my bathtub With a fishing line [Verse 8] Little fishes swimming in the shallows Little fishes driving me mad Two more fishes to swallow So they cannot eat me back
