Episode Details

I cut my little films by moonlight
Scissor-snips and sugar on the floor
Paint still wet on all my fingers
But I need a little more

I wrote a tune for a cracked-up teacup
For the way the sad dogs sing
Now the rent man wants his blessing
And the kettle wants a ring

[Pre-Chorus]
So I put it up for the world to see
One poem, one frame, one melody
If you love the spark, then set me free
Pay the baker, pay the bee

[Chorus]
Blurt.blog, pay me
Twiggy.lat, pay me
For the art I made
For the night I stayed
Blurt.blog, pay me
Twiggy.lat, pay me
Little gold in the hat
For the song, for that

[Verse 2]
I sold a laugh to a midnight reel
I sold a storm to a folding screen
Every brushstroke got a heartbeat
Every scene came out too clean

Then I took my bow to the market
Played for apples and a tiny brass bell
But applause won't feed the kettle
And the kettle knows it well

[Pre-Chorus]
So I put it up for the world to see
One poem, one frame, one melody
If you love the spark, then set me free
Pay the baker, pay the bee

[Chorus]
Blurt.blog, pay me
Twiggy.lat, pay me
For the art I made
For the night I stayed
Blurt.blog, pay me
Twiggy.lat, pay me
Little gold in the hat
For the song, for that

[Bridge]
Let the cello say, "She earned it"
Let the viola hum, "She stayed"
Let the accordion flutter
Like a ribbon in the shade

I don't want crowns or pity
Just the coins my hands have sewn
A fair little spark of the table
For the worlds I made alone

[Chorus]
Blurt.blog, pay me
Twiggy.lat, pay me
For the art I made
For the night I stayed
Blurt.blog, pay me
Twiggy.lat, pay me
Little gold in the hat
For the song, for that
