[Intro]
She went to the water
I love her stories
She went to the water
I feel cold, I feel cold again
Mother drags her meaning
Three bodies breathing
Mother bears her feeling
If she folds, if she folds again
Who is held? Who is holding them?
She went to the water
I loved her stories
She went to the water
It was told, it was told again
Here it comes, here it comes again
[Verse]
I bought flowers for my writing desk
I'm furthеr from God than I've ever been
I bought flowеrs, I'm begging at best
Send me a poem, untouched and unblessed
Teacher, teacher, won't you teach me this?
Slip me a note, I'll swallow the rest
Teacher, teacher, won't you watch me undress?
Watch me suck on the words, watch them sully this dress
[Chorus]
Heaven is twisting, fraying
Heaven is bending, aging
Heaven is twisting, fading
Heaven is brutal, baby
[Outro]
Sometimes the songs I used to know
Spring up sweet, swing low
Spread their warmth across my throat
A note too young, a note to choke
