Joanna Newsom - Cassiopeia lyrics

Feel the mattress tense beneath me like the muscle of non-sleepy; feathers flexing will defeat me, and it vexes me completely. And the hexes heat covertly like a slow low-flying turkey, like a Texan drying jerky but his meaty mitts can't hurt me. With my steely will compounded in a mighty mound that's hounded by the snap your steel string sounded just before your snores unwound it And in store are dreams so daring that the night can't stop from staring. And I'll swim sweetly as a herring through the ether, not despairing. Go to sleep, you stunning sky; gently creep cunning by. A quiet hum is amplified by your thumb, that you su*k dry. Hundred raging waters snare the lonely sigh. And you hold your breath and clasp at Cassiopeia. Hundred raging waters snare the lonely sigh. And you hold your breath and clasp at Cassiopeia. Cassiopeia, Cassiopeia, Cassiopeia
