Lyrics

I dream hermaphrodite
And I sit up all night
Our eyes on the horizon
Or the wobbling bowl
Heads and hands
We ponder dregs the bowl contains
A liquid's left putrescence
After being drained
What we feel we have to solve
Is why the dregs have not dissolved
When I wake I ponder what it means
Am I bad alchemy?
It seems I image self unmixed
A risk in a dish for drinking
Fluid with a strongly stinking sediment
Is that what it meant?
I dream hermaphrodite
And I sit up all night
Our eyes on the horizon
Or the wobbling bowl
Am I hermaphrodite?
Neither one nor quite the other
Heads and hands
We ponder dregs the bowl contains
A liquid's left putrescence
After being drained
What we feel we have to solve
Is why the dregs have not dissolved
After being drained
What we feel we have to solve
Is why the dregs have not dissolved
After being drained
What we feel we have to solve
Is why the dregs have not dissolved
After being drained
