Destroyer 3000 Flowers

she was part of an inner circle

daughters of the mother land

like a ship

lit up at sea

with scars where its talons used to be

scars where its talons used to be

scars where its talons used to be

i was a slow learner

and i moved in flourishes

i was a late bloomer

i moved in flourishes

last man on the scene

fresh face on a dying scene

one hundreth of a wet black bough

one hundreth of a wet black bough

one hundreth of a wet black bough

i was clytemnestra on a good day

dispensing wisdom to the uninitiated

the initiates brought out in tumbrels

shat out by the dawn

shat out by the dawn

shat out by the dawn

and like a woman i was kept

as the wealthy american underground

wept at the sight of rhode island sinking

into the sea

and the sky

still reigns

supreme over the land

as the music lovers

sat cross-legged in the sand

and in time and in space

and in other words in a band

too much like churchgoers

and the sky

still reigns

supreme over the land

as the music lovers

sat cross-legged in the sand

and in time and in space

and in other words in the band

too much like destroyers of themselves
