"purple strings" lyrics

"purple strings"

Wait
You've lost your head
In traffic jams
And flashing pans
And barking dogs
Through the night
Still get my sleep
Do you get yours?

I'm getting to know myself
In spite of the bend
I'm getting ahead of myself
Time and again

Shadows escape through the narrows
By the skin of your teeth
And the tongue in your cheek

West
Side of Manhattan
A picture show
On self hypnosis
A closed window
A half burned note
For cursed black magic
And time travel

I'm getting to know myself
In spite of the bend
I'm getting ahead of myself
Time and again
I'm getting to know myself
In spite of the bend
I'm getting ahead of myself
Time and again

Shadows escape through the narrows
By the skin of your teeth
And the tongue in your cheek
Our bows shoot narrow arrows
Time and again
Costs an arm and leg
