Jacaranda Dust Lyrics

Eyeshadow made of jacaranda dust

Crumbled on the floor

I'm trying to sweep up recollections of

Dalliances before

So I put on my seventies party dress

And dance 'till I succumb to dizziness

And watch you drink in past loves

From the doorway

You gave me an ultimatum babe

Business or pleasure

And I had to take one side, you know

For good measure

And no matter how you roll the dice

We'll never win

The motherlode

And you'll never whet your appetite

With just one lover

Sink

Sink into the pit of potential

Rosewater fills my lungs

And I'm drowning

Drink

Drink in the essence baby

I won't be around for much longer

For much longer

For much longer

I leave without a dream in my head

It's all over now

The sunsets no longer carry that

Factor of wow

So I pack the bags

Send out the ads

And get the hell

Out of town

Because you couldn't whet your appetite

With just one lover

I remember your eyes on that night

That's when I knew you would never be mine

I'm drowning

Yeah I'm drowning in these memories

Yeah I'm drowning

In these memories of jacaranda dust

I'm trying

Yeah I'm trying

Yeah I'm trying

Not to let myself, let myself

Sink

Sink into the pit of potential

Rosewater fills my lungs

And I'm drowning

Drink

Drink in the essence baby

I won't be around for much longer

For much longer

For much longer

And it's a shame

That you couldn't whet your appetite

With just one lover
