I will shape myself into your pocket Invisible Do what you want Do what you want I will shrink and I will disappear I will slip into the groove and cut me off And cut me off There's an empty space inside my heart Where the weeds take root And now I'll set you free I'll set you free There's an empty space inside my heart Where the weeds take root So now I'll set you free I'll set you free Slowly we unfurl As lotus flowers 'Cause all I want is the moon upon a stick Just to see what if Just to see what is I can't kick your habit Just to fill your fast ballooning head Listen to your heart We will shrink and we'll be quiet as mice And while the cat is away Do what we want Do what we want There's an empty space inside my heart Where the weeds take root So now I'll set you free I'll set you free 'Cause all I want is the moon upon a stick Just to see what if Just to see what is The bird lights float into my room Slowly we unfurl As lotus flowers 'Cause all I want is the moon upon a stick I dance around the pit The darkness is beneath I can't kick your habit Just to feed your fast ballooning head Listen to your heart
