Forget Me Not - CocoRosie

In brown clown face, tattered paw, pine scraps

Fish bones, home phone

Dial broke, pocket sunk

In brown paper sack

Face, head, eyes black

Shadow tears, funny ears

Bird mouth, crumble ash

In black plastic bag

Wounded snakes, slaughtered skunk

No grey flawless, dead deer

Shocked eyes

Open sky, velvet ropes

VIP heavenward, waywardly staggered drunk

Wounded stag, limp your way to paradise, limp your way to paradise

Now I’m wondering if I close my eyes and I fall back in time

If only I could remember you

Your name on a tree, your blood inside of me

Your songs all unsung, your thoughts all unspun

Where would you live, where would you dance

How would you make love, who would be your dove

If only I could remember you, if only, if only…

The fallen mirror bounces back

Some of moon’s gentle laugh

Sudden echo, soft attack

Mushrooms glittering on this path

There’s only one way to find out who dared slayed the deer

Left the eyes for the flies, then retreated into the brown grass

Bed of pine, needles prickling

The smallest manger fit for girl kings

Chicken bones and pervert winks

Dime bags and plastic rings

I still remember our first phone number

They circle me with genders and colors flickering

Like demons of diamonds of nothing, flickering

I’m wondering if I’ll close my eyes and fall back in time

Could I remember, could I
