The

The

in

her

swa-

And

I

know

so-

on

that

the

sky

will

split

And

the

pla-

will

shift

Balls

of

ja-

drop

Ah,

The

sea

rushes

up

my

knees

like

flame

And

I

feel

like

just

some

misp-

Joan

of

A-

And

the

cause

is

you

lo-

okin'

up

at

me

O-

h

ba-

I

re-

mem-

ber

when

you

were

born

It

was

dawn

and

the

storm

settled

in

my

b-

el-

ly

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

spl-

it

and

the

pla-

nets

hit

Balls

of

jade

drop-

exis-

stopped

Stopped,

So,

with

one

hand

I rocked you

And

with

one

heart

I reached

for

you

I

knew

you're

a

youth,

was

for the

takin',

fire

on

a

m-

So,

I

r-

Burst

And

I

fell

on

knees

and

pressed

aga-

You're

soul

was

like

a

of

spittle

Like

gla-
