Mile Magnificent

Plants with singing petals, women with long, long legs
Demons drinking water and angels drinking kegs
The light behind the buildings as we sip sunlight to the dregs
We're animals of love and the city never makes us beg

And it feels like a good, good omen
I've never been much of a good, good woman
But good things are coming
Good good things are coming

We bloom beneath the blessings of a goddess with no face
And toast to prohibition inside a bottle of champagne
Well all my better demons have gone the way they came
Only angels left now, hungover on the train

And it feels like a good, good omen
I've never been much of a good, good woman
But good things are coming
Good good things are coming

This is my favorite part, the start,
Not the fire but the sparks
The hold-your-breath, let loose your heart
We burn ourselves to ashes
Lighting fires in the dark
River jagged like a scar
We burn ourselves to ashes
And use the rubble for the parts
We are animals of love
We are animals of art

An apartment when it's empty echoes lovely, bright and clean
Sing odes to green-blue water that we stole so it comes free
All things end, it's part of living; forest fires feed the trees
Lift your glasses full of sunshine, sing a toast to gasoline

And it feels like a good, good omen
I've never been much of a good, good woman
But good things are coming
Good things are coming
Good things are coming
Good good things are coming
