the new "Your Ex-Lover Is Dead"

dude, i love joanna newsom so so much. even ask anu.

I do as I please
Now I'm on my knees
Your skin is something that I stir into my tea
And I am watching you
and you are starry, starry, starry
and I'm tumbling down, and I check a frown
It's why I love this town
Well, just look around
just see me serenaded hourly and celebrated sourly
and dedicated dourly; waltzing with the open sea
clam, crap, cockle, cowrie
will you just look at me?

I don't even really know what she means by it, but it's lovely.
