Well lyrics

[Verse 1]

Light floats down day river

On a red raft of blood

Night blocks out the heaven

Like a big, black, shiny bug

Its hard soft shell shining

White, in one spot, well

It's hard place, that I'm living but I'm doin' well, well

[Verse 2]

The white ice horse melted

Like a spot of silver, well

Its mane went last

Then disappeared the tail

My life ran through my veins

Whistlin' hollow, well

I froze in solid motion, well, well

I heard the ocean swarmin' body, well, well

[Verse 3]

I heard the beetle clickin', well

I sensed the thickest silence scream

Then I begin to dream

My mind cracked like custard

Ran red until it sealed

Turn to wooden and rolled like a wheel, well, well

[Verse 4]

Thick, black felt birds, are flying

With capes of solid chrome

With feathers of solid chrome

And beaks of solid bone

And bleached the air around them

White and cold well, well

[Verse 5]

Till it showed in pain

The hollow cane clicked

Like ever after

Its shadow vanished shinin' silence, well, well
