lyrics

She came from the tropics
globe sits rocking on speakers
people run inside themselves
peel back the warning label

How does a blind man get turned on
Forming opinions into laws of nature

Hold it you're not mad enough
mister, I'll need your religion

Scratch your thoughts for blood
her hand appears across blue static

When the wind comes to an end
bring the mountains with you
when the wind comes to an end
take your final solo

Humanity fits you just so
Take your broken feet to people's shoe repair

When the wind begins again
bring the mountains with you
when the wind begins again
take your final solo
