Between Earth & Another Place

Lucy Tonic

I'm quite the fickle traveler

But I like to take it easy

Don't give me air

Give me treetops and towers

And I'll trickle between

The dead and the living

Till I sense your salty skin

So give me a break

Your hearts and your heads

Are not this fool's mistake

Cause unlike your race

Of desires on high

And telephone lines

And indoor beaches

I just want to touch down

Touch ground

Dig in with my fork

A simple lobotomy

That keeps you unscorched

And still they want to catch me

A substitute for fire's torch

So I'll make true your myths

Of ominous hues

And day after day

Give you bolts from the blue
