Starlite

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 one true God
'Til 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 thee 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
Until one's bored of earthly things
Preoccupied with angels' wings in Babylon

The heavens empty for my son
A nervous breakdown for my son
The heavens empty for my son
