Tom Verlaine - Red Leaves lyrics

We shuffled our faces laughing like fish. Really flip flappin' We had not a wish. You said, "Look, the ceiling's down," You said it five times with that beautiful frown Red leaves whirling across my lawn I see you weaving. What dost thou sew? You look at the floor. You say, "I really don't know" I asked my darlin' why she talks so slow. She said, "It's the mud above and the stars below."
