"Ella Is The First Rider" lyrics
"Ella Is The First Rider"
Ella is the first rider
Margaret is the last
The night is as black as a miner
Stars are spun like glass
Elephants and birds
Tattooed beneath her shirt
Relics from her time in Asia Minor
Ella is the first rider
Cold and pale as chalk
The bones of her face are aligning
Underneath the oaks
She sees men as skin and bones
With hearts in the shape of stones
Perpetrators of some terrible vision
Ella is the first rider
Her mouth is so severe
The fierce little jaws of a lizard
Are dangling from her ear
And her every freezing breath
Is drawn from the mouth of death
And her every little whisper is a murder

San Fermin - "Renaissance!" A renaissance, another day
To tiptoe on the balustrade
Get over you, like anything
I ever could
It's easier from far away
Imagine this another way
I know the lines to every play
The best ones cry...
Great Lake Swimmers - "Pulling On A Line" The line runs through like a train in a book
Or meters underwater, ending with a hook
Sways in the air when there's wind enough to lift
The fine ones are boundaries when there is a rift
I'm just...
Jim White - "Still Waters" Well I was shacked up down in the mobile
With a girl from New York city
She woke me up one night to tell me
That we weren't alone
She said she saw the ghost
Of a woman staring at me
I told her not to...
