[Levi The Poet - Chapter Nine: Cap Gun Death lyrics]
M'lady
I have combed every inch of this island
Looking for the final pieces of wood
Needed to complete our wooded
Treehouse i marked
The path with cryptic carvings of
Arrows for right turns and
Bayonets for lefts
And eventually it drops off into a
Waterfall, and you can rest assured that
If anyone sniffs out our steps
Every adult will sneer and bet
That no one would
Be dull enough to jump off and into it
Oh we are growing, but childlikeness is
The only way to live, so
Hand in hand I will stand
For nothing less than dives
You hear? Head first
(And also backflips, if you want to backflip
You can backflip)
But we're going to give this whole
Life everything that we've got, and
If that means jumping off really
High rocks and into water
So be it and telling ghost stories with
Our face painted friends around campfires
(but for the love of
God, no acoustic guitars, i hate
Campfire-acoustic-guitar-guys) and we'll have
Sleepovers and sleep over one another
And you'll get a chance to see your wishes
Come true beneath the same stars that
I heard you whisper to when I pretended
To be asleep all those months ago
We've been playing our games
But they're just not the same
Without my Pocahontas to
Rescue me someone always plays
Your Algonquian dad
Chief and I'm constantly John Smith getting
My head bashed in with
A war club you'll probably laugh
When you read this, but, you don't hear any
Of those giggle-sounds
Coming up from Jamestown virginia is screwed
I think it's my time to come
To your rescue if all our
Bottles find their way to one another
Then surely our hands can
Too i've been sawing
Off branches to make room for our rooms
And pitching them together to keep the
Moisture from coming through i lifted a
Sail from in between the logs
Nailed an engine to the trunk
And stood at the front to balance and keep
Myself from falling off
Well it's not perfect
But it will do i'm going to ride our
House's roof to come and get you
So the boy set sail, and pushed off to sea
Stood at the bow looking forward
And out into everything, confident and
Though he had no idea what
The ocean would bring, "there
Are some things that I just know I believe
No matter how irreconcilable they seem"
I have combed every inch of this island
Looking for the final pieces of wood
