lyrics

“Voices”

There was a thin center in the thicket
And a voice
Was on it
Thin center in the thicket
And a voice, ooooon

It spoke in high and low tones
Sharp and rigid
Sharp and rigid
High and low tones
Sharp and rigid

And everybody
Wanted to see it
Wanted to feel its...
Origins
And everybody
Wanted to see it
Wanted to feel it
Wanted to see it

And everybody
Wanted to see it
Wanted to feel its
Origins
And everybody
Wanted to see it
Wanted to feel it

And if you brought your heart and showed where it lay
Something would sound
Something would sound
And if you brought your heart and showed where it lay
Something would sound
Something would sound…

But there was another thing…
Crawling outside, the perimeter…
In the roooose bushes
Another thing
Crawling outside, the perimeter
In the rooose…

It cracked twigs
It sighed, between moans, between moans
It cracked twigs
It sighed, between moans

It didn’t feel like a wounded creature
It felt like…
ICE WIND
With a power
As uncontrollable as a smile or stare

And after awhile, you could hear both sound voices
At the same time
And you knew of their intentions, their intentions
You knew...

And after awhile, you could hear both sound voices
At the same time
And you knew of their intentions, their intentions…

You knew where it came from
You knew its moments of birth
Its moments of birth
Its moments of birth

You knew where it came from
You knew its moments of birth
Its moments of birth
Its moments of birth

Yet somehow you couldn’t say anything (repeats x 5)
(Moments of birth)
Yet somehow you couldn’t say anything (repeats)
