Spindle, A Darkness, A Fever, And A Necklace Lyrics

{"So long, everything" he shouted

Then he ran next door to Margot's house

"I'm moving," he said, "where?" asked Margot

"Two weeks away, two weeks away," he said M-Mitchell

"Where is that?" asked Margot

"It's everywhere, I will be after I walk for two weeks," said Mitchell

"I have lived in the same place for a long time

It is time for me to go some place else, else"}



{"No," said Margot, "You have only lived next door for fifteen years"

"Sixteen," said Mitchell

"Fifteen, six, what's the difference," said Margot

"I want you to stay next door forever"

"I can't," said Mitchell

"I do not want to go wake up in the same old bedroom

And eat breakfast in the some old kitchen

Every room in my house is the some old room

'Cause I have been there too long"}



You turn on a spindle, you're so much looser now

But you're not explaining, how you've gained such new repose

I touch the clasp of your locket with its picture held

Some secret you wouldn't tell, but let it choke your neck

So we imagine a darkness where all shapes divide

Solids changing into light with a burst of heat so bright



Well fine, don't you do what I want you to

Yeah, don't degrade yourself the way that I do

'Cause you don't depend upon all the shit that I use

To make my moods and improve



{"And you look at me and think, same old face, same old tail

Same old scale, same old walk, same old talk," said Margot

"No," said Mitchell

"I like your face, tail, scale, walk and talk, I like you"

"I like, I like, like, like you too" said Mitchell

He walked to the door, "I must pack," he said}



Near a sea of pianos there were waves of chords

That crashed against the shore in one huge and useless roar

And there were girls bringing water like a dream they came

To cool the fever of my brain and soothe my burning throat

And they made me a necklace, hanging beads of sweatin'

On a string of my regrets and placed it round my neck



And they were singing "Don't you do what you've wanted to

You don't destroy yourself like those cowards do

Maybe the sun keeps coming up 'cause it's gotten used to you

And your constant need for proof"
