Silver Self - Maps & Atlases

Know not to show your silver self

During columns of the year

Who move slow past the bowls in your kitchen shelf

When they know that you are near

I think I’d like to employ your help

But my memory’s not so clear

Where was it that you hid your wealth

Above your eye or behind your ear?

Know not to show your silver self

During columns of the year

Who move slow past the bowls in your kitchen shelf

When they know that you are near

I think I’d like to employ your help

But my memory’s not so clear

Where was it that you hid your wealth

Above your eye or behind your ear?

No, I won’t be certain

No, I won’t be certain

No, I won’t be certain

As long as I’m alive

Learn not to show your silver self

During columns of the year

Who move slow like your reckless teenage self

Just learning how to steer

I think I’d like to employ your help

But my memory’s not so clear

Where was it that you hid your wealth

Above your eye or behind your ear?

No, I won’t be certain

No, I won’t be certain

No, I won’t be certain

As long as I’m alive
