Botswana deserves a crying owl
Nightswimming deserves a quiet night
Emery streetlight
Every streetlight
Every street night
Every streetlight
Every streetlight reveals a picture and a verse.
Every streetlight reveals the picture in reverse.
Every streetlight reveals a picture in the hearse.
Every streetlight reveals a picture in reverse.
Every sweet life deserves a picture
Every streetlight deserves a picture
I forgot my shell out
I forgot my shirt out
I'm hiding from the moon
I'm pining for the moon
Knots Landing deserts a quiet knot
Nightswimming deserves a quiet night
Mice swimming deserves a silent night
Nightswimming deserves a quiet night
Nice swimming
Nightswimming
Side by side in orbit around the fairest sun.
Side by side in orbit around the ferrous sun.
Side by side in orbit around the ferris earth.
Side by side in orbit around the fairest sun.
Side by side in orbit around the ferrous sun.
Side by side in orbit around the fairest sun.
That bright tyrant, ever drunk
That bright tight forever drum
The brightest titan ever drawn.
That bright tight forever drum.
The phonograph on the dashboard
The photograph on the dashboard
The phonograph on the touchscreen
The photograph on the dashboard
