Cassiopeia-Joanna Newsom

[00:00.666]Feel the mattress tense beneath me [00:05.264]Like the muscle of non-sleepy [00:09.940]Feathers flexing will defeat me [00:14.459]And it vexes me completely [00:19.788]And the hexes heat covertly [00:24.072]Like a slow low-flying turkey [00:28.539]Like a Texan drying jerky [00:33.032]But his meaty mitts can't hurt me [00:37.682]With my steely will compounded [00:41.757]In a mighty mound that's hounded [00:46.171]By the snap your steel string sounded [00:50.664]Just before your snores unwound it [00:55.262]And in store are dreams so daring [00:59.807]That the night can't stop from staring [01:04.953]And I'll swim sweetly as a herring [01:09.655]Through the ether, not despairing [01:14.514]Go to sleep, you stunning sky [01:23.317]Gently creep cunning by [01:31.389]A quiet hum is amplified [01:39.592]By your thumb, that you suck dry [01:48.082]Hundred raging waters [01:50.929]Snare the lonely sigh [01:56.336]Oh you hold your breath [01:58.687]And clasp at Cassiopeia [02:06.968]Hundred raging waters [02:10.103]Snare the lonely sigh [02:15.301]Oh you hold your breath [02:17.600]And clasp at Cassiopeia [02:25.045]Cassiopeia, Cassiopeia [02:36.513]Oh oh, Cassiopeia [02:43.644]
