Wooden Spoon
Drift
The onions gave up their opinions twenty minutes ago. Kitchen groove — wooden spoon keeping time, something simmering, Saturday afternoon stretching out in every direction. The kind of track that makes standing in one spot feel like dancing.
Lyrics
Something's thickening on the back burner
And I'm stirring with the spoon my mother warped
The onions gave up their opinions twenty minutes ago
Now it's all just gold
Wooden spoon
Keeping time on the pot's rim
Wooden spoon
Didn't know I was dancing till just then
The garlic's on my fingers from an hour ago
The radio's too low to hear the words
But my hip found the downbeat anyway
And the sauce doesn't mind if I'm off
No recipe
Just the nose and the wrist
And whatever my grandmother
Put in there that I can't name
