MEWITHOUTYOU LYRICS

"In A Sweater Poorly Knit"

Acoustic Version

In a sweater poorly knit, in an unsuspecting smile.
Little Moses drifts, downstream in the Nile.
A fumbling reply, an awkward rigid laugh.
And I'm carried helpless by my floating basket raft.
Your flavor in my mind swings back and forth between,
Sweeter than any wine, and bitter as mustard greens.
And it's light and dark as honeydew, and pumpernickel bread.
The trap I set for you seems to have caught my leg instead!

Go plow some other field, try and forget my name.
We'll see what harvest yields, and supposing I'd do the same.
I planted rows of peas, by the first week of July
They should have come up to my knees but they were maybe ankle high.
Take the fingers from your flute, to weave your colored yarns.
While I play for passing prostitutes, on an out of tune guitar.
I hear there's someone new, an extra pillow in your bed.
The trap I set for you seems to have caught my leg instead!

You're a door without a key, a field-without-a-fence.
You made a holy fool of me, and I've thanked you ever since.
If she comes circling back, we'll end where we'd begun.
Like two pennies on the train track, the train crushed into one.
But if I'm a crown without a king, if I'm a broken open seed.
If I come without a thing, then I come with all I need.
No boat out in the blue, no place to rest your head.
The trap I set for you seems to have caught my leg instead!

I do not exist. [x9]
I do not exist, only you exist.
I do not exist...
