Carbon Leaf Lyrics
"Attica's Flower Box Window"

(She broached again and again over the careful morning
scones that she adored all too quickly as he cranked
up his jaw and turned off his ear.
And she reminded they were his favorites and...)

"Could we please consider for our morning view that
flower box window with the three sides of glass?
( like in the magazines)."

"Consider it I will," he said,
"consider it gone from your head as it is I'm late
and not in need of a view.
And you will idle your time away like a bird perched
at the window sill. So off I go and I'm gonna auction
you off if you insist my little gem,
my little hen to persist with this mentality."

('No more of this!' she said,
'living in the shadow of my other.
' Sledgehammer, Saw -- hacked away at the wall.
Giggles, Fear and Dust. She chipped away and punched
a hole and the sun winked through with its artist eye
as if to say, 'Where've you been Attica!
? Break the Seal of your conventionality...')

Not used to this Awakening in you

Stash your dreams up in the cupboard bare

You Know your name...

(She made her way to see that sun and headed out the
door with a wide stride to attack it from the other
side. She ripped away! She talked aloud,
belly laughed, and one by one the bottled spirits came
to the curb to see what was goin' on.
'Attica, my dear,' they said, 'have you gone and lost your head?')

"Here's a magazine, now go and find me that window
frame. And to the nursery with you,
we've got alot to do. You can help or get out of my way..."

Not used to this Awakening in you

Drink your tea in the same way

(same time each day)

You know your name. And you know who you are...

(Well the spirit caught like wildfire and she had a
crew and between them all her flower box window was
installed after all. Fanfare from the kitchen,
street bazaar in the yard ('I see you! You see me!') Bottles uncorked.

Wildflowers free.
