Nine Wishes Lyrics

Nine Wishes lyrics

Deep down in a smiling bucket swimming clouds.

If it was up to me this
house would be almost seven hundred years old and more than thirteen kilometres
tall.

I would sit in a rocking chair, creaking along with an out-of-tune
piano and an orchestrion that always tricks me with ever-changing tempo

I'd be able to walk in the ceiling. I would eat nebula for supper. I would
wear a necklace made of strung hailstones.

The well outside would be an
eye that stares itself blind at the moon. The water would sob. There would be
two winds moaning.

The shadows would converge when the clock struck
twenty-five.

Oh how I wish I could walk about on the walls. And how I
wish there were more hours in a night:

When I can't wish for more - the
vision of scarabees crackling mandrake roots in soil breathing ghosts of worms
and scolopendras 

haunting you with their fumes of horror till your soul
tears your body apart and escapes
