lyrics
I Wake to sounds unknown
The cage I used to own is now my home
The soft exploding tone
The one I used to hum was sung too low
The clouds in your blue eyes
Will bleed to show what's yours and mine
As if they care or mind
Or blow their smoke rings black and white
I've dreamed of this moment
The one to be the one to turn you on
I reach my arm in song
The button all alone
When touched it goes
I play the part inside
Beautiful throw away the lines
I hear the dust arise
and watch you blink right through the light
As we burn, to be part of the world
Where particles meet particles
And all the colors turn into everyone
The cage I used to own is now my home
The soft exploding tone
The one I used to hum was sung too low
The clouds in your blue eyes
Will bleed to show what's yours and mine
As if they care or mind
Or blow their smoke rings black and white
I've dreamed of this moment
The one to be the one to turn you on
I reach my arm in song
The button all alone
When touched it goes
I play the part inside
Beautiful throw away the lines
I hear the dust arise
and watch you blink right through the light
As we burn, to be part of the world
Where particles meet particles
And all the colors turn into everyone
