Is a stairway
Of skin
You open the door
I let you in
Carry your story
Through the thick and thin
I feel the angels
Dancing on a pin
They dance
the body
Is a book
Of matches
A little fire
Is required
Of this kindling flame
Ohio Blue Tip Strike Anywhere
Strike me
Anywhere
the body
Is a hallway
Of mirrors
You have to jump
And a net will appear
You can see
There are so many of us
Here
Breaking
Is the one thing
We all fear
Breaking is the one thing
Break it down
Break me down like the quiet part of a song
The body
Is an apple
On a tree
The body
Is an apple
On the very first tree
Ripe
Round
Forbidden
Ripe
Round
Shake it down
The body Is a stairway Of skin You open the door I let you in Carry your story Through the thick and thin I feel the angels Dancing on a pin They dance the body Is a book Of matches A little fire Is required Of this kindling flame Ohio Blue Tip Strike Anywhere Strike me Anywhere the body Is a hallway Of mirrors You have to jump And a net will appear You can see There are so many of us Here Breaking Is the one thing We all fear Breaking is the one thing Break it down Break me down like the quiet part of a song The body Is an apple On a tree The body Is an apple On the very first tree Ripe Round Forbidden Ripe Round Shake it down Explain Request ×
