Borrowed Reflection Lyrics

Like a cabbagetown rubby reaching for the copper on Bleeker Street 
Like a coconut commoner combing through the needles on any beach 
Like you want to know 
What you need to know 
Smiling to the camera 
Looking for the window that no one sees 
I want to go walking 
Walking with you 
Like a calico mother waiting for the moment to hold her knees 
Like my borrowed reflection crawls into the space of an empty sheet 
Like the world is your buoy 
And the moon is your defense 
Like the horror of the naked eye 
Looking at the mark of a leaky pen 
Cover me with pomegranates 
Till I see my royal partner 
I will be the queen of spades
Then I will measure time 
As if it flowed from mirrors 
Under heaven's wake 
Like a blood-borne baby squints into the light and begins to breathe 
Like the moment I close my eyes on the edge of sleep 
Like the rumour of joy 
Or the musings of grief 
Dance with me a second time 
Till I feel the blood in my feet
