Cats And Cats And Cats - If I'd Had Antlers lyrics

So some island sinks out across from me A new one rose from between your knees And on its shores sat a boy and girl Their chords all tangled into the sea She was the dancehall that ran from you He was the boy that slipped out of view While we sleep soundly the time will sag I wore the footprints across your back While you were glowing between the pines On the violent wings of the Earth On the violent wings the cormorants sing "the story begins" And in the night A smuggled cargo with two children wrapped inside A warm and beating belly hidden under hide A zealous watchman jealous of his brother's pride Saw water glowing as he heard her footsteps fly Before he'd drawn his sword she'd flown over the side And left her body shaped as twins into the tide I was the dancehall that ran from you You were the boy that slipped out of view While we sleep soundly the time will sag I wore the footprints across your back While he was glowing between her thighs On the violent wings of the Earth
