Lyrics

A Sudden Swing

I have walked this body to the rim of its end

I have walked this body to the rim of its end

Along my spine, along my spine

A sudden swing

A swing of skin

A skin of wing

Out on the rim

Out on the rim

I have walked this body to the rim of its end

I have walked this body to the rim of its end

Along my spine, along my spine

A sudden swing

A swing of skin

A skin of wing

Out on the rim

Out on the rim

I have walked this body to the rim of its end

I have walked this body to the rim of its end
