The Poet And The Witch - Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks

Pity the poet who suffers to give

Sailing the seas on his oceans of love

Strange how the sound waves break out of his reach

Love is a paradox who inherit the sky, queen of the sky

Sonso sticking thunder from star staggered eyes

She gives away to be one with the skies

She breaks away on the night that she rides

Suffers her hunger to inherit the sky, queen of the sky

Never to from faraway eyes

Beacons of life and their queen is the dawn

Deaf to his ocean and blind to his charm

She’s deaf and she’s blind but she’s queen of the sky, queen of the sky

Queen of the sea she sleeps on her own

The fishes have found her the ocean has grown

Slips through the waves and she sank like a stone

Queen of the nightmare will inherit the sky, queen of the sky
