To the Rind

[Verse 1]
And here we are in the jaundice cellar light of the underground, hear the sound
Of people pulsing to jazz bars
The lovers n’ hips
Stale air is tinged with oil and barely telegraphs
But then you laugh
So it seems all else becomes eclipsed

[Chorus]
Make a cosmic promise
Suck the fruit right down to the rind
No need to be modest
We both know there's not enough time
The city is a banquet
Meant for you and I to devour
Exеrcising patience
Reignеd in [?] to darkness of flowers

[Verse 2]
And here we are on electric avenue
With a [?] of stars
The whirr of cars
We pirouette like popcorn kernels at a fair
Evertree in the park is a rhapsody of silver green, tambourines
Swear a gold [?] form around your hair

[Chorus]
Make a cosmic promise
Suck the fruit right down to the rind
No need to be modest
We both know there's not enough time
The city is a banquet
Meant for you and I to devour
Exercising patience
Reigned in [?] to darkness of flowers

[Bridge]
I wonder what you’re doing now
Your shirt is drying on the rail
I wonder what you’re doing now
You sent a letter in the mail
Your pity is enough to face
Has your headache done away
Happy Graduation Day

[Chorus]
Make a cosmic promise
Suck the fruit right down to the rind
No need to be modest
We both know there's not enough time
The city is a banquet
Meant for you and I to devour
Exercising patience
Reigned in [?] to darkness of flowers

Make a cosmic promise
Suck the fruit right down to the rind
No need to be modest
We both know there's not enough time
The city is a banquet
Meant for you and I to devour
Exercising patience
Reigned in [?] to darkness of flowers
