Purple Door 2009: In a Sweater Poorly Knit ~ by mewithoutYou

Sorry I missed a chance to do yesterday's post, so I'm doing two today. Two for one bonus! This next song is one from the band mewithoutYou. I blogged about them on my main blog. You can read it by clicking here.

In a Sweater Poorly Knit ~ by mewithoutYou

1) In a sweater poorly knit and an unsuspecting smile
2) Little Moses drifts downstream in the Nile
3) A fumbling reply, an awkward rigid laugh
4) I'm carried helpless by my floating basket raft
5) Your flavor in my mind swings back and forth between
6) Sweeter than any wine and bitter as mustard greens
7) Light and dark as honeydew and pumpernickel bread
8) The trap I set for you seems to have caught my leg instead!

9) As you plow some other field try and forget my name
10) See what harvest yields, and supposing I'd do the same
11) I planted rows of peas but by the first week of July
12) They should have come up to my knees
13) But they were maybe ankle high
14) Take the fingers from your flute to weave your colored yarns
15) And boil down your fruit to preserves in mason jars
16) But now the books are overdue and the goats are underfed
17) The trap I set for you seems to have caught my leg instead!

18) You're a door without a key, a field without a fence
19) You made a holy fool of me and I've thanked you ever since
20) If she comes circling back we'll end where we'd begun
21) Like two pennies on the train track the train crushed into one
22) Or if I'm a crown without a king, if I'm a broken open seed
23) If I come without a thing, then I come with all I need
24) No boat out in the blue, no place to rest your head,
25) The trap I set for you seems to have caught my leg instead!

26) I do not exist, I do not exist, I do not exist

27) I do not exist, I do not exist, I do not exist

28) I do not exist, I do not exist, I do not exist

29) I do not exist, only you exist, I do not exist

Imperfectly due to mewithoutYou knit of the sweater

1) Imperfectly knit of the sweater and the smile which nothing doubts
2) Small Moses in Nile drifts to downstream
3) Response of groping, to handle the laughing which is hard difficult
4) I was carried by the raft of my floating basket it has been troubled, it does
5) Your taste of my heart wobbles to front and back at that time
6) It is bitter to be sweeter than the wine and as a mustard green is
7) As a sugar liquid and the pan of pumpernickel the light/write and the darkness
8) The trap which I place in because of you seems that catches my foot in substituting!

9) As plows the attempt of other field, forgotten my name
10) When I do the same, in order to harvest harvest, if you look at what
11) I planted the line up to first week of July of pea bean
12) Those should rise to my knee
13) But those were the perhaps high ankle
14) Take the finger from your flute in order to knit the yarn where you color
15) And boiling under your fruit to jam of mesonjiya
16) But now the book is time limit lag, yagi is done underfeed
17) The trap which I place in because of you seems that catches my foot in substituting!

18) The field which does not have the key and the fence it is the dying door
19) My holy idiot was made, I after that appreciated
20) If she comes, we who are gone around finish we began somewhere
21) Like 2 pennies of train track/truck the train which is crushed in 1
22) Or if me the king the dying crown if the kind where I can burst
23) If thing it dies and starts, I come with everything which I need
24) The place where you make blue and your head go to bed it is not there is no boat
25) The trap which I place in because of you seems that catches my foot in substituting!

26) I do not exist me, me it does not exist, it does not exist

27) I do not exist me, me it does not exist, it does not exist

28) I do not exist me, me it does not exist, it does not exist

29) Just I exist, me it does not exist, it does not exist
