Lyrics
And if you died while writing lines
Would all the things you said to me now be mine
Because words don?t go if nobody owns them
Just back into a pile with a soft explosion
If you say that things just can?t stay true
Then here is everything I said back at you
I got a staetdler pencil and a really big stencil
You can write it on me because I wanna remember
Esmeralda sleeps on the back of a horse and she is known
For the company she keeps
Wake her up little boy she?ll bring your worries home
She?s had a slip of the heart and she?s looking for you
And if you fell into a hole
Would you wake up dancing to rock and roll
With the lights up high and the drums up loud
If you dig a little deeper bet you?d find your crowd
You understand me psychically
You see the noise surrounding me
Such a lovely antenna looking for a reception
Come over here and interuppt my reception
Esmeralda sleeps on the back of a horse and she is known
For the company she keeps
Wake her up little boy she?ll bring your worries home
She?s had a slip of the heart and she?s looking for you
And Esmeralda doesn?t know your name
But that?s okay it?s just a problem that goes away
You better be nice to her or she might make you
Remember everything
And if you died while on the phone
Would your soul travel the wire and come inside my home
Where I would sit it down and I?d give it food
Try to talk where it was sitting to not be rude
In a universe of everchanging plans
You can bounce around the stars or just be mad
I?m pushing planets round to greet the coming day
Make it orbitally certain you?d be in my way
