Texty: Eleni Mandell. Snakebite. 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 Dick

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
Silverlake
