Lyrics

Standing at the window's edge Looking in, looking down The world folds in upon itself I didn't make a sound The dying of a soul almost never does Just one more extinguishing under the flood Power laid bare on the rug The shock of bargaining The rush 'Cause he's a genius or a fool The world in your hands But they're his rules And I'm a serpent or a Muse His face in the papers I don't make the news Put witnesses in rows Turn hummingbirds to crows Beloved rising son The body and the blood Thе body and the blood Secret gardеn behind walls Leave it plain, leave it good Challenge for a man of God Dig every pretty root A real saviour almost always does It chooses you to carry off from the flood Always counting what you owe Thank God you won't have to do it alone 'Cause he's a genius or a fool The world in your hands But they're his rules And I'm a serpent or a muse His face in the papers I don't make the news My truth only fable Made small under the table The feast already done I stand and beg for crumbs Put witnesses in rows Turn hummingbirds to crows Beloved rising son The body and the blood The body and the blood The body and the blood
