Royal Canoe Somersault song lyrics

SOMERSAULT

Every day I fold my limbs in to bend my body

Making a shape for the guests at my party

I can't stop, I walk on my hands

'Til my arms give up and let me in

Spin me like a top and I'll blur at the edges

I'm digging deep, drilling down unattended

I'll carve out a mold in the middle

Of the hole hollowed out and settle in

Lie down in the backseat

Fumbling matches

Slowly I'm leaking out

Rise up with the smoke

I held in my throat and

Grow soft into a cloud

I'm in a somersault

I wantto learn to crawl

I could stand to walk

Before I run to fall

I'm always up for a new position

Prepping myself for the fall exhibition

I scrub off the spots that I got

Until I'm all alone inside my skin

Look at me shining there down in the garden

All of my sweat and all of my pardon

I can't help staring at the dark

Where my shadow gives up and I begin
