Green of My Pants

Lyrics

In leather weather Leather trees are gone Does the oriole remember? The moss and vulture Imagine that To run for cheese Angels over Bethlehem Suspended in the sky are wearing halos

I go to the Delman on Sunday The aisles are leading me to the screen Balcony behind my back Exits outside my eyes Sometimes I catch the matinée And I see the feature twice by staying in there
