Laura Veirs - Parisian Dream lyrics

You're paintings scratch lines

of blue and gold and open me up

was folding into myself

a deck of cards

face down empty on the shelf

your song with emphasis on one and two

then i couldn't keep time

you took me into a dream

an exploding soundtrack

the treasure's mine

but that treasure's mine

i was bent over my chest

an invisible line sinking

but then the light of the lamp

that i held in my blistered hands

you the fuel

and me the fool for not noticing

this chinese junk we're all

strapping strong and casting lines

let's fold here together

clearly better slip out to the rocks
