"Ashes" lyrics - YO LA TENGO
YO LA TENGO
"Ashes"
Leopard spots on a bird of paradise
Snake eyes on a domino
When the bug devours the flower
Then you know
Blow on the fire
Ashes blow away
Blow on the fire
Ashes blow away
Twisted branch of an aging sycamore
Spider veins across its leaves
Once I stood in its shadow
Watched the fire breathe
Blow on the fire
Ashes blow away
Blow on the fire
Ashes blow away
Dream, dream away
Why cry? Why try?
If it's all the same
Sound asleep, counting sheep
Dream away
Why stay? Change your name
Take your things and go
Everything is upside down
Spins round and round
