words and music by Frankie Lyon

lyrics

In my dreams I seen, breaking bread and sipping and lean
My prince there blind in his chamber

Now the hourglasses fall as I claim to not recall
My indecision and overall fever

And the gates are breaking in to the on-call men
Who shuffle cards and shout for me to Save Her

In my ceiling here I see the painting hanging over me
Of endless stones below me and my writer

Oh, Angeline, my money over me
Come to rest, babe, for a minute — I’m anxious

At sixteen I, with my friends close by
Took a hose and a rag for our torture

The conclusion we made, we saw the white rolling train
Headed east then became our next function

In the liquid and the brine (the broken cables in my mind)
The cries you throw and yet you take me still closer

And of course now you say that my blood inside your vein
Doesn’t sit there, no no, but bubbles in laughter

Oh, Angeline, my money over me
Come to rest, babe, for a minute — I’m sleepless

Now we’re twenty and one. I feel our infancy is done
We can settle down in a vineyard with my millions.
