Go Long-Joanna Newsom

[00:00.353]Last night, again [00:03.069]You were in my dreams [00:08.790]Several expendable limbs were at stake [00:17.384]You were a prince, spinning rims [00:25.169]All sentiments indian-given [00:29.401]And half-baked [00:32.718]I was brought in on a palanquin [00:39.510]Made of the many bodies of beautiful women [00:47.451]Brought to this place to be examined [00:55.654]Swaying on an elephant: [00:58.736]A princess of india [01:04.797]We both want the very same thing [01:11.353]We are praying [01:14.723]I am the one to save you [01:19.216]But you don't even own [01:22.403]Your own violence [01:28.072]Run away from home- [01:31.337]Your beard is still blue [01:35.073]With the loneliness of you mighty men [01:42.439]With your jaws, and fists, and guitars [01:48.134]And pens, and your sugarlip [01:54.926]But I've never been to the firepits with you mighty men [02:07.177]Who made you this way? [02:09.894]Who made you this way? [02:13.786]Who is going to bear your beautiful children? [02:22.041]Do you think you can just stop [02:24.627]When you're ready for a change? [02:28.545]Who will take care of you [02:32.202]When you're old and dying? [02:36.382]You burn in the Mekong [02:39.856]To prove your worth, [02:43.226]Go Long! Go Long! [02:47.118]Right over the edge of the earth! [02:51.559]You have been wronged [02:54.145]Tore up since birth [02:58.821]You have done harm [03:01.329]Others have done worse [03:05.639]Will you tuck your shirt? [03:08.617]Will you leave it loose? [03:12.562]You are badly hurt [03:16.506]You're a silly goose [03:20.633]You are caked in mud [03:24.944]And in blood, and worse [03:28.888]Chew your bitter cud [03:32.806]Grope your little nurse. [03:37.691]Do you know why my ankles are bound in gauze [03:44.300](sickly dressage: [03:47.957]A princess of kentucky)? [03:52.424]In the middle of the woods [03:55.089](which were the probable cause) [03:58.877]We danced in the lodge [04:02.586]Like two panting monkeys [04:06.504]I will give you a call, for one last hurrah [04:13.375]If this tale is tall, forgive my scrambling [04:20.741]But you keep palming along the wall [04:27.637]Moving at a blind crawl [04:31.242]But always rambling [04:34.952]Wolf-spider, crouch in your funnel nest, [04:42.606]If I knew you, once [04:46.472]Now I know you less [04:50.312]In the sinking sand [04:55.380]Where we've come to rest [04:58.697]Have I had a hand in your loneliness? [05:07.683]When you leave me alone [05:10.609]In this old palace of yours [05:14.893]It starts to get to me [05:18.628]I take to walking [05:23.043]What a woman does is open doors [05:32.656]And it is not a question of locking or unlocking [05:40.441]Well, I have never seen [05:42.818]Such a terrible room- [05:46.815]Gilded with the gold teeth of the women who loved you! [05:54.207]Now, though I die Magpie this I bequeath: [06:01.417]By any other name [06:04.500]A jay is still blue [06:08.261]With the loneliness of you mighty men [06:14.818]With your mighty kiss [06:18.475]That might never, never end [06:21.949]While, so far away [06:26.886]In the seat of the west [06:29.891]Burns the fount [06:31.301]Of the heat [06:32.712]Of that loneliness [06:37.100]There's a man [06:38.406]Who only will speak in code [06:44.467]Backing slowly, slowly down the road [06:52.382]May he master everything [06:56.771]That such men may know [07:00.140]About loving, and then letting go
