She was hatched from light, washed out in the flood
|
And the basement’s gravity pulled and it pulled
|
She was nothing, but nothing, but nothing, but good
|
She was covered in blood, she was covered in blood
|
And the dark vibrated with promise and hope
|
There were sparks in her eyes as she reached for the rope
|
She was coming up, coming up, coming up soaked
|
With a firelight, firelight, fire explode
|
There were lights in the sky, there were lights in her bones
|
There were lights in the dark, and the dark didn’t know
|
She was burrowing, burrowing under the skulls
|
She was covered in hope, she was covered in
|
Radio song, cut through the air
|
'75, such a good year
|
We met in the sun, the summer was light
|
And then she was born, they laughed and they cried
|
Then she went away, and he and the child
|
Were left on the sea, drifting around
|
And demons of old took him in his sleep
|
The girl found her own escape from the deep
|
She goes under and over
|
(Reach down to the love that’s waiting)
|
Under and over
|
(Reach down to the love)
|
She was hatched from light, washed out in the flood

With a firelight, firelight, fire explode
|
There were lights in the sky, there were lights in her bones
|
There were lights in the dark, and the dark didn’t know
|
She was climbing a ladder of needles and knives
|
She was burning up, burning up, burning up
|
Radio song, cut through the air
|
'75, such a good year

We met in the sun, the summer was light
