Bullet Ballet - Amaryllis
lyrics
with amaryllis hanging low, the gate is left ajar
and water chilling nice and slow
we walk upon this soil shared, emitting beads of hope
the cacti are beyond compare
let's nestle close and stare awhile at eagles soaring overhead
their crying can be heard for miles
i put no keys upon my door, it's open for the bobcats
whose steps are heard these days no more

so green my desert mind is seen, a rapturous reply
though provisions have grown lean
i wished i could have offered up a bonfire made of cedar
a milkwort stew of greens and stuff

my children, greet the summer!
my children, taste the moon!
we'll grow the way only selection could move us
the sunrise is coming soon

the amaryllis and the lily throw their roots down side by side
the earth accepts and holds them firmly
my backpack filled with pictures of emancipated feelings
to see the sky, one only need look up
