Seashell Tale

Bright Eyes · Noise Floor (Rarities 1998 - 2005) [2006]

Two...three...four.



Let's go place some money,

On the order of the horses.

Break the ribbon of that famous finish line,

Then we'll gather up our stash babe.

Find a little ranch baby,

And buy a lonely little pony to ride.



Well, I knew I was lucky,

When the needle came and stuck me.

This porcupine came and poked my cactus hide.

So let me finish what I start babe.

Open up your heart babe.

I saw a land of milk and honey in your mind.



Oh, flesh and blood has found me in your arms again.

I see the whisper of the wind has found your hair again.

And though my heart said give me refuge in your dignity, my dear,

All I could do was put a seashell to your ear.



Oh, flesh and blood has found me in your arms again.

I see the whisper of the wind has found your hair again.

And though my heart said give me refuge in your dignity, my dear,

All I could do was put a seashell to your ear.
