lyrics

I folded the stars on a planet of mystery
made payments in cash implemented history
the asylum was closed turned into a school
she stole all the diamonds then poisoned the fool
he arrive by a train to announce a big fire
sang songs for a witch with a china white choir
he wrote several books built hotels and convents
beetles crawled the walls hissing repent repent
the church by the sea burned down in the spring
she swallows black liquor and disguises her wings
the bare eyed honey eater thirty miles high
pulled down in the dawn descended from a dark sky
she was raised to honor her mother and father
she has a strong hand on the crimes of the other
down in Brazil there is a species of moth
that can dematerialize into a man of the cloth
he was banned for scandal brutal and wild
we only just begun to be unreconciled
adjustments abandoned he’s a troublemaker
this coward will be brought to meet his holy maker
oh humanity and all it good intentions
get out of there and love is all he never mentions
by the time we got there I guess it was the end
walk high above the world until you start to descend

she is the last frontier the desire for truth
her skin powder white white persistent youth
all the flowers of the field all the white pigeons
from Hiddensee Island you wrapped in silk ribbon
delta poets write logic equations
bring pale blue racime to every occasion
the aura forms and you appear
the white rose of your heralds every year
built monuments that will bear your name
source codes and engines all do the same
she is a girl in possession she is a kiss on a ship
she is the last big thing she is right on the lips
she is magic, murder, she is the weather
she is light pouring out she is a dream of a feather
she is chemical she is silver and she is lead
she is erotic she is where angels fear to tread
she is daughter of Isis she is theological
she is fearless she is mythological
she is expanding she is dream time
she is suspended she is holy sublime
sorrows like sea billows roll
