Alphabet Waves

lyrics

We will speak out to the wind
When we begin, and we begin
And solace the crowd when they are raging
And sole as the crowd and single them out
And sing out to them
And sing along what they will not hear or understand
And we the sound

And stitch up our vocals one by one
And hang them on a line to dry
And try if one can get along
With consonants when they are dried
And hang around with ups and downs
And shaking like the wind
And hung up to dry on a line
And dripping drops in awkward rhythm
Like faces crying
