lyrics

Look upon the land with your dark eyes
The moon is rising in our lungs
Woods are burning turn your black eye
A liquid limb succumbs

Heads bobbing on spines
A slurred understanding
Wading in a wake of wine
As gravity does drain our acrobatics

Look upon the land with your dark eyes
The moon is rising in our lungs
Your fingertips I love in the night sky
Like pearls in the summer sun

What was that name?
My memory's gone astray
The spirits in our mouths ignite
On the backs of smoke and vines we ride

If we trip this snare of landmines
Blood will surely flow
Will they say that we were stupid?
It isn't like we didn't know
In a bath all night waterlogged
An echo in a grain silo
We can mend the torn horizon
The night is ours...

Oh my Jesus! well i wonder!
You're streaking through the razor snow
Isn't lovin hard to follow
I didn't get the horoscope

But lose our heads not if our legs are hollow
Wading in a wake of wine
The night is here and ours to swallow

If we drink this cord of light
Then we will surely come
If we didn't have this slow rise
We wouldn't be half as loved
Hera's hangin with her bull whip
Will we brand the sting
We can mend the torn horizon
Shouldering our slings
