charming disaster - phosphorescent lilies lyrics
[verse 1: ellia bisker]
phosph0r-scent lilies on the surface of the water
forming floating constellations ’round the caravan
the gyptians rule the marshlands, they can read them like the lines
that trace the future in the creases of your palm
[verse 2: ellia bisker & jeff morris]
they might not let us go, but we’ll be royalty
the queen adopts her prisoners into the ancient clan
if we submit to their initiation rites, and we survive
they’ll make us part of all their secret plans
[chorus: ellia bisker & jeff morris]
they say
if you want to stay
there is a price to pay
a sacrifice to make
what will you cast away
cast away
[verse 3: ellia bisker & jeff morris]
’round the circle goes the flask and, hand to hand, the pipe is p-ssed
until we almost can’t remember who we are
fireflies conspire with the lanterns on the fishing boats
to let us float among the drunken stars
[verse 4: ellia bisker & jeff morris]
we didn’t mean to come here, but we never want to go back home
the children throw us silver after every song
we’ll learn to ply the waterways and serenade the cormorants
we’ll roll our cuffs and let our hair grow long
[chorus: ellia bisker & jeff morris]
they say
if you want to stay
there is a price to pay
a sacrifice to make
what will you cast away
cast away
[post-chorus: ellia bisker & jeff morris, both]
they say
would you give up your pinky finger
stay
a roof over your head
pay
your great great grandmother’s wedding ring or
make
your comfortable bed?
they say
would you lose that precious memory
stay
of your first true love
pay
your house, your home, your family
make
your shaky faith in god above?
they say
a tooth, an eye, a kidney
if you want to stay
your future unborn babe
there is a price to pay
the last ten years of your short life
a sacrifice to make
what will you cast away?
cast away
[verse 5: ellia bisker & jeff morris]
crickets chirp and nightjars sing as fiddle bows meet fiddle strings
the music’s in a tongue we don’t yet understand
jasmine blooms intoxicate
the choice was never ours to make
[outro: ellia bisker & jeff morris, both]
we’re dizzy but
we’re dizzy but (we know we’re safe)
we know we’re safe (we’re dizzy but)
we’re dizzy but (we know we’re safe)
we know we’re safe (we’re dizzy but)
we’re dizzy but (we know we’re safe)
we know we’re safe
we’re dizzy but
we know we’re safe
we’re dizzy but
we know we’re safe
we’re dizzy but
the dancers smile and take us by the hand
