Kimberly - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

Little sister, the sky is falling, I don't mind, I don't mind

Little sister, the fates are calling on you

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

Little sister, the sky is falling, I don't mind, I don't mind

Little sister, the fates are calling on you

[Verse 3]

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 violet, violent 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

[Outro]

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, woah

Oh, looking deep in your eyes, baby

Into your starry eyes, baby

Looking deep in your eyes, woah
