| The wall is high, the black barn
|
| The babe in my arms in her swaddling clothes
|
| And I know soon that the sky will split
|
| And the planets will shift
|
| Balls of jade will drop and existence will stop
|
| Little sister, the sky is falling, I don’t mind, I don’t mind
|
| Little sister, the fates are calling on you
|
| Ah, here I stand again in this old 'lectric whirlwind
|
| The sea rushes up my knees like flame
|
| And I feel like just some misplaced Joan Of Arc
|
| And the cause is you lookin' up at me
|
| Oh baby, I remember when you were born
|
| It was dawn and the storm settled in my belly
|
| And I rolled in the grass and I spit out the gas
|
| And I lit a match and the void went flash
|
| And the sky split and the planets hit
|
| Balls of jade dropped and existence stopped, stopped, stop, stop
|
| Little sister, the sky is falling, I don’t mind, I don’t mind
|
| Little sister, the fates are calling on you
|
| I was goin' crazy, so crazy I knew I could break through with you
|
| So with one hand I rocked you and with one heart I reached for you
|
| Ah, I knew your youth was for the takin', fire on a mental plane
|
| So I ran through the fields as the bats with their baby vein faces
|
| Burst from the barn and flames in a violent violet sky
|
| And I fell on my knees and pressed you against me
|
| Your soul was like a network of spittle
|
| Like glass balls movin' in like cold streams of logic
|
| And I prayed as the lightning attacked
|
| That something will make it go crack, something will make it go crack
|
| Something will make it go crack, something will make it go crack
|
| The palm trees fall into the sea
|
| It doesn’t matter much to me
|
| As long as you’re safe, Kimberly
|
| And I can gaze deep
|
| Into your starry eyes, baby, looking deep in your eyes, baby
|
| Looking deep in your eyes, baby, looking deep in your eyes, baby
|
| Into your starry eyes, oh
|
| Oh, in your starry eyes, baby
|
| Looking deep in your eyes, baby, looking deep in your eyes, baby, oh
|
| Oh, looking deep in your eyes, baby
|
| Into your starry eyes, baby, looking deep in your eyes, baby |
