In Clouds

Kay Hanley


it's easy to get in 
too hard to get out 
if i get to heaven y'all gonna hear me out 
them things that you don't want to hear 
ring soft and low upon the ear 
what i have in mind 

trojan horsies scattered on the lawn 
played a minuet now you gotta move along 
at once an angel and a whore 
now she don't call you anymore 
what i have in mind 

don't figure it out 'til you're covered in clouds 

lavender you know her 
like a warm july malaise 
where everyone breathes your name
like a worn out refrain 

i stopped believing on that freezing night 
i tried to find you i tried i tried i tried 
them things that you don't want to hear 
ring soft and low upon the ear 
what god has in mind 

don't figure it out 'til you're covered in clouds
