lyrics

Deep under the still water
Devious drums have a tantrum

Behind the yellow paperwall
A wobbly train races at nightfall

(Chorus)
Her lips are sealed
Her whomb’s empty
She’ll never heal
She’s a hollow tree

Into her inner temple she takes
A bath of milk filled with rattlesnakes

On barrren moving sand
Children sing at arising sun

(Chorus)

An army of restless children
Each night invades her dreams
Heads down they play on swings
In her whomb, they, dancing ghosts

To ward of the threat
She built houses on sand
Lies down and wait
For the hate to walk away
