Lyrics
Bony Flowers - Our Aviatrix
Bony Flowers
flies a gypsy moth
her dusty wings have eyes
Bony Flowers is tall and lean
ancient, old and wise
Bony Flowers snaps her gum
blows clouds that pop on her chin
she keeps loose change and feathers
pockets full of air to keep them in
Bony Flowers and her gypsy moth
their bones have welded
their skin is patched ragged
their hearts nearly melded
Leaves snail tracks, plane trail
silver thread unwounding
over patch worked ground verdant green
velvet, button and pearl
Bony Flowers is a gypsy moth
dusty wings clear eyes
one thousand feet and rising
that’s the way, this story flies
