Kayo Dot - Azure-Lidded World lyrics

Like a kiss, soft, and wild with the delicate steps of petals fallen in a stream This swirling ballerina turns in faint and sighing grandeur Across the floor to me. A monarch plays the violin to a summer's afternoon Whilst quietly the earthworm adores the soil in winter's sparkling gloom It breaks away, growing as the flowers do. A thunderhead embraces his enraptured lover And kisses with a gale that also makes the cattails shudder. His tears cannot, as he proclaims his love, be held with lightning back; They fondly dance into an open window And fondly dance with mine. Our eyelashes weaken with a weight that is sweet and fine, And this feels like frogs and spiders in the sweet outside. Tell me why world, unfathomable and good, The beauty of everything is infinite and cruel. An airplane, a puppet, an orange, a spoon, A window, and outside Stars and the moon.
