Elba - A Duplex

When I visit, lock up your scissors and knives.
The white posies opened wider today.
	
	With fresh water, the posies opened wider.
	Turn right just past the inflatable angel.

Held tight under inflatable angel’s wings.
I believe this must be a test of faith.

	I believe. This must be a test of faith.
	His voice carries me like stride piano.

Roll my heart up and down, like stride piano.
Some say that short people are never nice.

	Napoleon proved that short people die angry.
	Every year I grow another ring.

Every year I count the rings I’ve stolen.
When I come, lock up your scissors and knives.
