Stornoway - Knock Me on the Head lyrics

There's a hunger in the air and lemons swollen in the trees When shadows fall across the moon I strain my ears towards the breeze A wasted summer listening, secluded as a cemetery Withered limbs under the sand for an hour-gla** eternity You hung an albatross round my neck But you needed to knock me on the head and say No no no no! Jackal legs and Kangal dogs are cloaked in darkest forestry A woman dangles from a bridge on a thread of silver mercury You hung an albatross around my neck But you needed to knock me on the head and say No no no no! I've seen the ghost of my anathema upon my bed I need a body to knock me on the head and say No no no no! I saw a feathered silhouette on the crest of unforgiving waves It hovered over salty air and I couldn't tear my eyes away And somewhere in between the lines I drifted into fantasy But you're the only open book, a portal to a star-crossed sea You hung an albatross around my neck But you needed to knock me on the head and say No no no no! I've seen the ghost of my anathema upon my bed I need a body to knock me on the head and say No no no no! I've seen the ghost of my anathema upon my bed I need a body to knock me on the head and say No no no no!
