Gist Of Morning

from Cliff Diver by A Modest Proposal

/

lyrics

Well there’s something
In this climate
That brings the bones
Out of my face

You may pick up my reflection
In a cold plate

I used to entertain
Now I don’t do anything

I was standing
In the careful reconstruction
Of the whole outdoors
So I cared very little
When they punched
My passport

Oh to sigh and speak
In the thick of things
Albeit unawares
Of what the safari
Was asking

Oh to sigh and speak
And to listen to the leaks
To eat the baguette
In one sitting

There’s something
In this climate
That brings the bones
Out of my face
The bones out of my face
The bones out of my face

My correspondence
Was doggedly sincere
A long sea voyage
Tends to do that to you dear

Cloud formations
Above the actual spot
I am sending the flowers
I dragged my brain across
A lifeless ocean

There’s something
In this climate
That brings the bones
Out of my face

You may pick up my reflection
In a cold plate

I use to entertain
Now I don’t do anything

I feel it is my business
To say so
The deep kiss administered
And the bill of goods sold

They crush you
When they want you to happen
You feel your feet in your shoes
And the mist
Of a traveled to fountain

There’s something
In this climate
That brings the bones
Out of my face
The bones out of my face
The bones out of my face

Today I should be bold and wise
Unless I’ve done my sums wrong
And then it’s back to the drawing board
Where it’s shorts weather
Whether it’s shorts weather or not

And you nearly get
the gist of morning
Because the oxygen’s sharp

Yeah, you really get the gist of morning
Because the oxygen’s sharp
