lyrics

the big bloom is on
and I’ve an itchy eye
the darkness is almost gone
I think I’ll go outside
and plant a garden of heartaches
I’ll dig holes for thee bone breaks
fertilize with the mistakes
grow a trellis-climbing vine
with the research and the w(h)ine
you know it takes a lot of time to develop
these truly great theories of mine

accumulation of winters and of springs
the innovation surprising February brings
not one to pursue every single avenue
yet to walk into the blue
sliver of voluntary sky
where there's flowers in every eye
hanging with the weight
of a previous and great murky rain

now that the door
has opened keep it wide
lie down upon the floor
in the rainbow that's arrived
some call the door a window
where in flew a butterfly
from the edge of the sky
now that the door has opened keep it wide
go back inside

and when the sun comes out drop everything
and run outside, and run outside
when the sun comes out drop everything
and run outside, and run outside
when the sun comes out…
