Lyrics
9am and the mornin' light
Falls through chinks and holds her tight
Lazy morning, lazy days
Birthday cards, neglected strays
Meena shuffles through the door
The clock's not chiming anymore
Crumbs and dust and stagnant air
Yellow curlers in her hair
Milky clouds have made her coffee mild and sweet
She almost tastes it on her tongue as she starts to read
Someone's climbing on a mountain
Someone's spying for the government
And she just can't believe her mind has
Decided for the place to be an unknown space
Starts to frown, knows the plastic's brown
The Tupperware sits on the shelf
Keeping the coffee to itself
9am in the mornin' light
Poor mosquito lost its fight
Daddy long leg spun his web
Connecting threads step by step
It works the way synapses do
Catching faces, words for you
Wrapping sounds to keep'em safe
Warm encounters get engraved
Milky clouds have made her coffee mild and sweet
She almost tastes it on her tongue as she starts to read
Someone's climbing on a mountain
Someone's spying for the government
And she just can't believe her mind has
Decided for the place to be an unknown space
Starts to frown, knows the plastic's brown
The Tupperware sits on the shelf
Keeping the coffee to itself
Her house is built in present tense
Curlers'n'Coffee now make sense
