Big Thief - Incomprehensible
00
Copied!
I'm afraid of getting older
That's what I learned to say
Cause society has given me
The words to think that way
The message spins and spirals
Don't get saggy, don't get grey
But the soft and lovely silvers
Are now falling on my shoulder
My mother and my grandma
My great-grandmother too
Wrinkle like the river
Sweeten like the dew
And as silver as the rainbow
Scales that shimmer purple blue
How can beauty that is living
Be anything but true?
So let gravity be my sculptor
Let the wind do my hair
Let me dance in front of people
Without a care
Let me be naked alone
With nobody there
Or with mismatched socks and shoes
And stuff stuffed in my underwear
Incomprehensible
