Song Lyrics

(0:00)
(1:00)
*I sensed a new scent
*So innocent and bent.
*I sense a new scent that's innocent and spent.
I feel good. Not so good.
Very Sleepy Rivers
A very sleepy place
Very Sleepy Rivers
A very sleepy place
milk silver and sulk
(2:00)
fish in warm clear liquid
I feel so wet.
I feel kinda misguided.
Very Sleepy River
A very sleepy place
Very Sleepy River
A very sleepy place (kinda thing)
very sleepy river
very sleepy river
(it's just a thing)
very sleepy river
(just a thing)
a very sleepy thing..thing..thing
a very sleepy place
very sleepy...
(3:00)
(a very sleepy river)
a very sleepy river
*a place a place
a verbal trashing
a verbal trashing
a verbal trashing
a verbal trashing

milk silver and sulk
*nothing quivers
a very sleepy river

*burn burn burn

space
words tumble from me
a very sleepy river
words tumble from me
a very sleepy place
(4:00)
a very sleepy river

*your father waiting ?
in a very sleepy place

a very sleepy river
