[Devendra Banhart - Cosmos and Demos lyrics]
I've never told this story
To another living soul
For fear it might awaken and
The story would unfold
Candles in a courtyard and
A paper colored cat
While demos danced on feathers and
Cosmos held the hat
Next came their profession and
A paper colored purr
An umber armed albino and the
Crowd began to stir
I slid behind a linden to
Swallow what I'd seen
I slid behind a linden and
To swallow what I'd seen
Threads of grass and thumbles
Needles made of hair
Leaves a dance that stumbles
Limbs laughed in the air
Threads of grass and thumbles
Needles made of hair
Leaves a dance that stumbles
Limbs laughed in the air
And on the day you fall
Whose name would you call
The only thing you taught me is
The only thing you know
How to start a fire once
The umbers cease to glow
The only thing you taught me is
The only thing you know
How to start a fire once
The umbers cease to glow
To another living soul
For fear it might awaken and
The story would unfold
Candles in a courtyard and
A paper colored cat
While demos danced on feathers and
Cosmos held the hat
Next came their profession and
A paper colored purr
An umber armed albino and the
Crowd began to stir
I slid behind a linden to
Swallow what I'd seen
I slid behind a linden and
To swallow what I'd seen
Threads of grass and thumbles
Needles made of hair
Leaves a dance that stumbles
Limbs laughed in the air
Threads of grass and thumbles
Needles made of hair
Leaves a dance that stumbles
Limbs laughed in the air
And on the day you fall
Whose name would you call
The only thing you taught me is
The only thing you know
How to start a fire once
The umbers cease to glow
The only thing you taught me is
The only thing you know
How to start a fire once
The umbers cease to glow
