In Delay from Angels' Abacus by Emily Bezar

I found the copper and the gold medallions,
parquet battlefields, their gloved battalions
but I saw everything I loved float away
swimming circles 'round my Lusitania
I see the beach but where's my cool cabana
oh will everything I love float back my way?

I don't want to stay, I don't want to stay
in delay for another day
are we gonna go, are we gonna go
out and play
or tuck the world away,
tuck the world away
in delay, in delay, in delay, in delay

for all my stall-outs and my false beginnings
I drove the bus right through
our precious winnings
oh, and sifting through the dust, I let it blow
between the desert and the violent mountains
lies the plain where I shall build my fountains
save your bottles for the grand water show

I don't want to stay, I don't want to stay
in delay for another day
are we gonna go, are we gonna go
out and play
or tuck the world away,
tuck the world away
in delay, in delay, in delay, in delay

throw down those
clouds and rainbows
we're going to find some rain
no matter how deep this spring flows
it's going my way going my way Oh

I don't want to stay, I don't want to stay
in delay for another day
are we gonna go, are we gonna go
out and play
or tuck the world away,
tuck the world away
in delay, in delay, in delay, in delay
