lyrics

The heavens empty for my son...

The storm is a function of sky;
Your truth is a function of lie--
God's a number line,
God's a function of Why.

We searched every night for the star
Until we fell asleep in the car;
We'll get old until
Time reveals who we are...

Years exchanging dusk for dawn
Seem too proud to carry on
Every time the seasons change,
Pack your things and act your age--
Fix your father's recipe,
Kill your mother's enemy,
Find the veil of the one true God,
Until you're old and frail and odd in Babylon.

A ghost is a property of
A child's understanding of Love
Heaven aches for thee,
Heaven take me above!

One remains when one's one dies.
Splashes water in one's eyes.
One grows pale and faint and wan,
Spends one's days with one's blinds drawn;
One's loved ones will tell one lies
Of one's loved ones in paradise
'Til one's bored of earthly things,
Preoccupied with angel's wings in Babylon.
