Stanley & Seafort's

from The Dog Lying Down by Kye Alfred Hillig

/

lyrics

There’s a jumper on the bridge
Stanley & Seafort’s with the kids
And now he’s Humpty Dumpty, Goldilocks
It takes a hand to make a puppet talk
The nighttime woke up wedding bells
Built a zoo where the Devil fell
And now I open doors — the animals run
What’s it worth?
Why do we hold on?
To prove a point?
To live the truth?
There’s a million hearts that belong to you
Instead of seeing only empty things — tilting barns or flightless wings

And the heart breaks down on I-5 South
I’m a creature getting out
Mother loved anybody else
The bloody hands of time washed in the Puget Sound

Got his shoes hung in the night
The pollution hides the sky
To feel you’re winning when you swung
“Beat his ass! He’s getting up!”
I stole one final moment in your arms
Held me once, then life moved on
What was the use in growing up?
Whose filed teeth proved they’re in love?
So goodbye, handsome sour grapes
You could have been wine if you’d only stayed forever a child on the beach
Growing older violently

And the heart breaks down on I-5 South
I’m a creature getting out
Mother loved anybody else
The bloody hands of time washed in the Puget Sound
