Heavenly Bodies

A ball of light fills my room

Dances in without a tune

But banging drums overhead

Pin me down upon my bed

Open up my mouth to scream

Are my parents proud of me?

Mother, Father can I lie between your bodies tonight?

Are the Gods just playing games

Rolling stone down sky lanes?

Count the seconds one, two, three

Miles away but coming for me

Open up my mouth to scream

Are my parents proud of me?

Mother, Father can I lie between your bodies tonight?

Can I grow up, be a "man"?

It's been like this since time began

Maybe if I hum along

It will soothe me in to song

A ball of light fills my room

If I danced would it dance too?

And with the sheets from the bed

I could scare the storm instead

Open up my mouth to scream

Are my parents proud of me?

Mother, Father can I lie between your bodies tonight?
