Coltrane's out of breath

Lyrics:
The welcome signs are withdrawn. Through laced windows
The cinnamon shops still smell of marigold.
Oh something to drink, to learn, or to pray for;
I've been counting the time by the packs in my coat.

Lift my head
Write my bible in arabesques:
A sacrament in spent matches on the bed.

Don't turn away,
Know some things are meant to stay:
An amber ring, your verse engraved.

Chance left loose change
In the fissures, the sofa frame;
My wish, I'm a wisp in your gaze.

But the lines rang like Coltrane,
I'm awake,
A wisp, a whisper to wane.

MUSIC VIDEO (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2gZx6YlJfmw)
Lil’ Slug, Lil’ Slug, Lil’ Slug, Lil’ Slug, Lil’ Slug, Lil’ Slug,
Don’t salt me, don’t salt me, don’t salt me, don’t salt me, don’t salt me, don’t salt me 
Lil’ Slug drives kia (ooh)
Lil’ Slug don’t like pita (nope)
Lil’ Slug know he gonna beat ya’ (grrah)
Fuck I’ll punch a walmart greeta’ (pow) 
   
Lil’ Slug green so he never be blue     
Lil’ Slug a slug and he faster than you
I’m eggs benedict, you’re Oliver’s gruel
I fly first class while you’re stuck at school

My flow is grimey, like some kind of grub
My crew is slimey, cuz I'm lil' slug
Ask me a question, I’ll only shrug 
If you give me coffee, it’s best in a mug

When I see a stop sign I always halt
Favorite kind of milkshake, I guess it’s malt
I’ll commit battery, and sometimes assault
But you better fuck off with all that salt.
