Lyrics

[00:00.58] When you catch the light
[00:03.58] You look like your mother
[00:08.64] It crushes me some,
[00:11.14] Just right from the side
[00:14.08] .
[00:16.27] When you catch the light
[00:18.14] There's a flash of wild creatures,
[00:22.64] Before the Stone Age of the preachers,
[00:26.21] And the husbands, and the wives
[00:29.27] .
[00:36.20] When you catch the light
[00:38.46] The flood changes direction,
[00:40.46]
[00:43.31] And darkens the lens
[00:45.19] That projects my disguise
[00:49.31] .
[00:50.50] As you fight along-side,
[00:52.88] You'll discover my weakness
[00:57.88] I'm not fighting for your freedom,
[01:01.25] I am fighting to be wild.
[01:04.94] .
[01:11.44] "Hey, little girl, would you like to be
[01:15.19] The king's pet or the king?"
[01:18.00] "I'd choose odorless and invisible,
[01:21.82] But otherwise I would choose the king.
[01:25.56] Even though it sounds the loneliest...
[01:31.00] And my brother's hands would poison me."
[01:34.56] .
[01:37.31] "Hey, little girl, would you like to be
[02:10.06] The king's pet or the king?"
[02:13.00] "I'd choose odorless and invisible,
[02:17.19] But otherwise I would choose the king,
[02:20.69] Even though it sounds melodious...
[02:26.38] There's no mother's hands to quiet me."
[02:29.94]
