Branches

The branches were tangled and they fought like little scraps
Selling the paper and throwing their handicaps
The devil crept up
And made me suffer
And I told her I loved her like I never loved her
Ooh, ooh

And I felt like losing it
And she felt like twisting
The air which did have it
Oh I hadn't been listening
So I lost my cool again
Under a boulder
So I wiped my brow with the sweat from her shoulder
Ooh, ooh

And she tasted sweeter
Than whiskey and loneliness
And my bones did circles
Around everyone's holiness
The dogs have been purring
And the cats have been digging holes
And nobody wonders
Where they used to go

Well i'm feeling stupid
And scared that i love you
And the birds in my stomach
Are flying above you
And the parents are laughing
And teaching their kids to fly
Out of my stomach
And into your eyes
Out of my stomach
And into
Your eyes
Oh, oh, oh, oh
