Syd Matters - Cloudflakes lyrics

Sitting in the big black oven What a clever place to hide With my eyes wide open My face is a flaming pie Barenaked in the kitchen And everyone sleeping tight The clock goes to seven I dance but I don't know why I'm standing in the schoolyard Waiting for my teacher to come She looks gently downward And picks me up in the sun I'm chewing cloudflakes I'm falling apart One when my mind aches One for my heart I'm making mistakes When I'm counting stars One when the light breaks One in the dark I'm standing in the shelter Waiting for my mother to come She left me in winter And she'll pick me up in the fall The ocean is friendly The ocean is mine Caught in my bathtub With a fishing line Little fishes swimming in the shallows Little fishes driving me mad Too more fishes to swallow So they cannot eat me back
