Devendra Banhart Cosmos And Demos Lyrics

Cosmos And Demos Lyrics

I've never told this story to another living soul

For fear it might awaken and the story would unfold

Candles in a courtyard and a paper colored cat

While demos danced on feathers and cosmos held the hat



Next came their profession and a paper colored purr

An umber armed albino and the crowd began to stir

I slid behind a linden to swallow what I'd seen

I slid behind a linden and to swallow what I'd seen



Threads of grass and thumbles, needles made of hair

Leaves a dance that stumbles, limbs laughed in the air

Threads of grass and thumbles, needles made of hair

Leaves a dance that stumbles, limbs laughed in the air



And on the day you fall, who's name would you call

The only thing you taught me is the only thing you know

How to start a fir once the umbers cease to glow

The only thing you taught me is the only thing you know

How to start a fire once the umbers cease to glow
