Jenny Hval
On Cherry Tree Song
[Verse 1]
Jocasta grows on a cherry tree
Hanging with the leaves
Pitted and punished, glazed
The sour taste of suffocating skin

[Pre-Chorus]
I have eaten apple kernels to sing you
To sing you
I've eaten apple kernels to sing you
Apple trees

[Chorus]
I am hanging from a tree
Swinging like a swing
To one side, and then the other
Tied onto a noose
Fastened like a leaf
To an apple tree

[Verse 2]
An eyeball dangles from a branches
Watching, rolling with the breeze

[Pre-Chorus]
I have eaten apple kernels to sing you
To sing you
I've eaten apple kernels to sing you
Apple trees
Now we wait for you to grow
You to grow
[Chorus]
I am hanging from a tree
Swinging like a swing
To one side, and then the other
Tied onto a noose
Fastened like a leaf
To an apple tree

[Outro]
Hanging from you
Swinging from
To an apple tree
