Curious Thing Songtext
von Ned Collette

You′re a memory toad
And you ain't getting old
Where the path meets the moon
Every night you take hold
I creep softly to you
Through the mist and the pink morning dew
But if you ever see me
I′ll say it ain't true

I've seen the obstinate pose
And the way that that goes
I′ve seen the world in the slipstream of a death
And that′s what scares me the most
The thoughts that find me at night
When the stars are all broken and white
Ain't the ones to be trusted
I suppose


You know I know that they sing
But I do not hear a thing
Spoiled with bone
I′ve grown
It's a curious thing
Like a silent string
To be with you
Alone

I got rejected again
And so you bought me a pen
They blinded me in the night
And so you gave me a sight
They took my clothes at the door
But you were ready with more
They put me out of the game
So you just changed my name

But now I see right and look
Better without all the things that they took
And though you are just a ghost
I need you the most

I don′t know what it's gonna be tomorrow
And I can′t tell if I'll ever ever know
All these seeds of bright mistrust that we have sown
It's a curious thing
It′s the only thing
The dark with you
Alone


Every morning I′m here
Reapplying my face
Feeling increasingly more like a national disgrace
