Tremble Tongue - Slim Twig

Crick-crack-crick!

My bones in the mist

Tin-tack-tremble

S’i cling to my pebble

From what tree d’i tumble

To be strung so a’jumble

Outside i’m ballin

I been lollygagged

Yes i’m fallin

Well i’m bare — to the marrow!

Yes i quiver-core, and i tremble

Oh let me assemble —

I tremble, i tremble

Please let me assemble

Please crown me

Drubbed and unlikely

Oh they gazed at the sight a’me

I been seen at the saw

I ate from the trough

I’m nauseous, i twitch, and i stammer

Oh lower your hammer

I stammer, i stammer

Please lower your hammer

Please cuff me!

To have and to hell

My woebegone shell

Who emoted me votive?

I’ll kill him!

Oh fuck-fin-flask

This heartbeat’s my last

Can i jump ship

Or will i merely tread water?

Oh fodder thing — misery string

My body missing thing,

I lost my ship and i’m missing!

Outside i’m ballin

I been lollygagged

Yes i’m fallin

Well i’m bare — to the marrow!

Oh i quiver-core, and i tremble

Oh let me assemble —

I tremble, i tremble

Let me assemble

Please crown me

Hip hip horray in a slip my lip brays

Hip hip horray

Without quip i do say

Today i float free

Someone has called to me

Mastered i glide

I am healthless

Breathless and healthless

My rapture did end all this

We drink

We drink!
