Woah! Watch out! We're Dandy! and We're Lions! We're the Dandy Lions!
Story behind the song
i wrote this about a man i was in love with.
Lyrics
We pulled up our stakes
And hit the ground softer than a widow's weep
The poplar trees danced naked in the breeze
Stinging our faces in thin purple twilight
And I watched you as the sun faded and disappeared
Your melon dew hair glistened and melted away down
Your ivory neck and back you fell tossing it into the
Fading sunlight
The whispered wind pricked the needle vine
The wind moved a furred shadow, tossed in tongues
Swished past, and pending, following the green grass
To a grassy knoll where we lay our weary feet
Not ready to fight, but yet, found ourselves in love
Over a bottle of prune juice and brandy
You held out your hand in the darkened night
And I withered and wasted, took it out of sight
The crackle of the transistor radio carried across the
Sky, the color of a lonely wrench, to a small child
Playing solo near the picnic yard waiting for loose change
To appear in his pocket
The eager smell of burning wood drifted clear
Onto the grassy knoll where we lay our head and hearts
The aroma caressed our nose hairs and entwined itself
Loosely enshrouded in dark fantastic
And the mellow light of the sun lost itself to nightfall
The moon creped out and kissed the pollen cocks
Rambling sweetly over the stars glistened like rubies
Blood spoken and queerly silent and ill
