lyrics

the turntable slowly starts spinning, fills the air with the buzzing of strings, never before did those words creep inside you, like the ghost following me, my feet are on fire, running across bridges, your altar attachment has been turned into stone, this fever I'll sweat out, pass it through my system, make the long walk home

and if the roar of the crowd circles over like buzzards, grab a friend and pull them aside, make sure they know how much they matter, don't forget what it's like to cower before swords made of sunlight, and ache with the stillness of time, trying to stuff the vastness of your suffering on a page when you can't find the line

la la la...

once I was a soldier, once I was a shaman, once I was a priestess of light and I've been devoured, my body's been scattered and from ashes brought back to life with no greater purpose than pointless existence, we might as well try and get by, bathe in the garden, dance in the moonlight, dedicate this one to life

la la la...

that song I was singing when you weren't listening, I shivered with longing, I thought that you knew, the words I sang weren't mine but I put on the costume and you lost sight of me, too
