Laura Veirs - Wide-Eyed, Legless lyrics

Down among the dead the wide-eyed And the legless only half ahead Half a mouth to laugh in the porthole With the mold and faded epitaphs Will you evermore tie up my hair with velvet bows Will you evermore pull out the splinters from my toes I don't think so Out in the hornet rain the swarming stingers Pumping poison through my veins Lying on the star-cross lovers map Take the beating, lash, lash for lash Will we evermore kiss on the boardwalk's fading rail In the light of the waves and the comet's waning tail I don't think so No more looking back, looking back Looking back, faded epitaphs
