lyrics

She got the crystal tears
she's the girl who was crying with the crystal tears

w-w-wonder where did the radio go
did he lose himself trying to find his way home
was he seduced by the forest freaks
in the sharp relief with all the crispy retreats
its a cheap thing you don't understand
its a white suntan from behind the van
another day just like a bird flew by
and out from the eyelet tiny demons fly
maybe vomit in the village night
and die of goblin fright its a happy sight
magic tricks into the purple light
got a front row seat for the stardust flight

Droppin down into the amulet
in an ambulette, its a safety bet
Got a meeting with the rabbit hole
and can you feel the soul of all the non-carbonated gold?
I couldn't breathe for a thousand days
in a thousand lounges in a single chaise
getting strong leads to the darkest night
and its the deepest freeze for a fairy flight
gonna cross into a billion bees
its the deepest cold for a new disease
and all the ghosts crawling out of my mouth
running round the house
knocking children out singing

She's got the crystal tears
She's the girl who was crying with the crystal tears

She got the beamin' Blanes
racin' all the Corvettes down the crystal lanes
sayin where did the summer go
did the winter win with a stranglehold?
