Lyrics
Sea anemones moan from her old purple crown
when she's alone yes
dreaming to drown or to strangle
Like a periscope stuck and the lights of the mirrors are tangled
Gathering rust in the mirrors of love
is the face I don't trust yes
the great envy of gods and nations
Through a telescope darkly the stars have abandoned their stations
And then she danced her way
into my blood to say
"It will never never be light
if you stay"
Why'd she call for me then when the water was high
with crystal balls, yes
disco eyes that outgrew her
What the stethoscope heard in the grass was the will to outdo her
Her eyes look alive
and make Buckingham Palace guards shiver
Like a kaleidoscope tangling lights in a black river
And then she danced her way
into my blood to say
"It will never never be light
if you stay"
