lyrics

One day of silence for two grains of sand
Three stray eyelashes blown from my hand
Green Turtle kisses the White Butterfly
What is he thinking with tears in his eyes

I never buy umbrellas anymore

Seashells are singing to deaf grains of sand
But they clap politely, they're friends with the band
After an hour the Butterfly sleeps
Rain fills her dreams as the ceiling crack seeps

I never buy umbrellas anymore

I wonder what does the subway mouse wish for as she scurries from hole to hole?
Cause this is no way for a mouse to live
