carry diamonds in your pockets nobody can see
silver in your hair melt into your cup of tea
penetrate the universe but from her point of view
cultivate a scalpel and a heart to cut into
but she’s got to to have a reason
no one’s letting her go
yeah she’s got to to have a reason
mother, you would know
city timing left over where the ocean dies
dance to the patterns we try to synchronize
leaving the weak where they lie in the end
one who is dangerous in need of a friend
fight with us
while the numbers wait around
but she’s got to to have a reason
no one’s letting her go
some of us
cracked if held too tight
yeah she’s got to to have a reason
mother, you would know
dry in the sun while the netting closes in
drop you and kick you and leave you to spin
standing alone with a fear of disguise
pointed like bullets illusions advise
but she’s got to to have a reason
no one’s letting her go
yeah she’s got to to have a reason
mother, you would know
master in one of a distant arraign
sacred and jealous the part of the chain
brothers and sisters of alien life
chemical air fighters stuck with a knife
