[Verse 1]
I told you the words to it oriole
Now when an ear come say it right, say it right
Give the true kiss
And there is no more two faces but one stone
Fruit flies, the lights all on as if none live here but life
And stingily, stingingly the song
Like in your voice the evening I had
"Smelled like trees”
Meaning how to hold a thing one loved
And how describe custody
If incantation is national say a nation is a plane of
Equivalences galloping

[Chorus]
One by one by one by one by
One by one by one by one by
One by one by one by one by
One by one by one by one by
One by one by one by one by
One by one by one

[Verse 2]
Onto the blade
A blade in sunlight
Far far offstage
There, grass and weeds and what
Cassette tape in the culverts shimmering the song
Two dogs tethered inside, but the scale changes
Then the key
And how to hold a thing one knew and how authority?
