lyrics

Four limbs, four limbs
But no flesh to cover
Pull these hooks out from my limbs
Start to shake and shudder
And shudder…

Hollow as a mandolin
Weightless as a feather
Shoals that pluck my eyes and skin
Jewel my skull with treasure

When I heard the news
My voice -
Rolling out like thunder
White noise -
When I heard the news
My voice
Came rolling out like thunder
White noise
When I heard the news
I was only,
The only one

Wandering as a ghost rigged ship
And wedded to the weather
She caught me in a brace of lints
And hauled me each cold measure

Stubborn as the death I am
I would not show my pleasure
She struck a flint to warm my back
And pieced my bones together

She rubbed my joints with oil and rags
Until they shined like leather
She laboured till my blood began
To murmur like a river

And sang to me both night and day
That no life is forever
And pressed two stars into the sky
And sister and brother...
