[Verse 1]
And in the end, we caught our weevil bride
She was arranged in garments' genocide
We took her home to where our mirror stood
Like she knew we would
So she smiles
[Chorus]
She sings "Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, I've been here before
Many years ago, before the war
And it goes on and on and on, until you're gone
And I just need to know
That everything is fine
And everyone's alright"
[Verse 2]
And I
They take our tongues and give us guns
Two coins for the ferryman for when you're gone
The weight of souls drives his boat ashore
And he sails no more
Staring out across the end
[Chorus]
He sings "Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, I've never been here before
Even years ago after the war
And it goes on and on and on, until you're gone
And I just need to know
That everything is fine
And everyone's alright"
[Bridge]
Chiseling the granite from our dusty eyelids
Harvesting the stones we throw
We caught a virus from the periscope inside us
We caught a virus from the periscope
We caught a virus from the periscope inside us
We caught a virus, we caught a virus
Star-struck, freeze-frame capture
That coin-flip fateful, harmony-muted feedback
With your cold hands on the foreheads, so feverish and frantic
While madmen lay your landmines in the ballroom
And I, I, I, I
[Bridge]
Want some? Yes, please
Send us back as amputees
With starry rags and shiny things
Let me back into the sun
How many times must all this be said?
On and on until we are gone
We're all children of light cut from the same thread, thread
