from Shy Green Fields
Great song, as in not alone, think about
what's possible, not imaginary but picturing
the uncountable kicks of you, danced,
milk blue, the test results declare we are
all magnetic, that we each have our own
humming sound, a radio frequency, I
am turning into you, tuning into you.
