lyrics

it’s growing outward like a leaf
it’s sprouting legs and hands and teeth
this morning violent and free
I see your map & you want to drive

away with my pride
never ever to be seen by the naked eye

over that hill
never you find
never ever to be seen by the naked eye

but, I’ll take the river
dance on the knife of purity
ache, shake and shiver
the river brings the love to me

don’t need a microscope to read
the fingerprints of history
there’s a chromosome that built a ship
and now I live inside of it
I know a place where we can meet
I’ll mark the map to where you must drive

away with your pride
never ever to be seen by the naked eye

over that hill
never you find
never ever to be seen by the naked eye

just take the river
dance on the knife of purity
ache, shake and shiver
a prayer that opens to the sea

not going with them
to fade into a litany
we’ll take the river
where there’s no choice but to be free

just take the river….
