Quetzalcoatl Eats Plums Lyrics

i meant to leave the house this morning

and begin making my way toward where you are

i meant to leave the house this morning

i made it halfway across the front yard



but the plum tree hung heavy in my head

and the plum tree hung heavy in my heart

and the plum tree hung heavy over me



so i tore off to the phone

to call you and tell you something, but i couldn't remember what

because through the clean, clean windows

saw the plum tree's leaves, as red as fresh blood



and the plum tree hung heavy in my head

and the plum tree hung heavy in my heart

and the plum tree hung heavy over me
