Pearls of the southern skies I read it back to front Wanted to be an astronaut Find out why the stars don't fly around like doves So I reached into my pocket I pulled out a ball of lint Threw it in the river And I watched it slowly sink Now I'm knee-deep I saw the colour leave your cheeks Are you breathing? Can you feel the blood rush to your feet? Can you see me? I'm caught up in the wind The salty sea breeze I'm dancing in the leaves But I'm hungry I'm starving 'cause all you feed me Is lies I see it in your eyes I see it in my Stomach It's empty 'cause all you feed me Is words And all your words just seem to hurt I'm hungry feed me some dessert I'm hungry feed me some dessert There's pigeons homing in my galaxies I watch them circle slowly They come so close I see their beady eyes You'd think that they would know me They're caught up in my orbit And I'm caught up in their stare In the moonlight they surround me Bring the auburn to my hair And I'm knee deep I saw the colour leave your cheeks Are you breathing? Can you feel the blood rush to your feet? Can you see me? I'm caught up in the wind The salty sea breeze I'm dancing in the leaves But I'm hungry I'm starving 'cause all you feed me Is lies I see it in your eyes I see it in my Stomach It's empty 'cause all you feed me Is words And all your words just seem to hurt I'm hungry feed me some dessert I'm hungry feed me some dessert I'm hungry feed me some dessert I'm hungry feed me some dessert
