Silverlake Babies

we'll have Silverlake babies

up from the reservoir

hang by our fingers the fence that surrounds it

under the night sky

the lavender bright sky

lonely and emptied of stars

we'll saddle around

to the clubs when we're up for it

saddle around to the bars

and huddle in close when we're ready for bed

lullabye Philip K ****

we'll holler and shout

while we rattle the cage

climbing, our feet hooked in tiny spaces

and I'll always wonder how lucky I've been

you'll always wonder the same, the same, the same

we'll have Silverlake babies

up from the reservoir

skating around and around in a circle

buzzing the searchlight

oh miracle spotlight

lonely and emptied of stars

we'll holler, shout,

shake, and rattle the cage

climbing, our feet stepped in tiny spaces

and I'll always wonder how lucky I've been

you'll always wonder the same, the same

we'll have Silverlake babies

Silverlake babies

Silverlake babies
