Get Up |
| And when the body finally starts to let go |
| Let it all go at once |
| Not piece by piece |
| But like a whole bucket of stars |
| Dumped into the universe |
| Whoooh! |
| Watch it go! |
| Good-bye small hands, good-bye small heart |
| Good-bye small head |
| My soul is climbing tree trunks |
| And swinging from every branch |
| They’re calling on me |
| They’re calling on me |
| They’re calling on me |
| (I am fine) |
| They’re calling on me |
| They’re calling on me |
| They’re calling on me |
| (I'm not fine) |
| Do you think I’m an animal? |
| Am I not? |
| Do you like fur |
| (I'm alright) |
| Do you wanna come over |
| Are we captive only for a short time |
| (I'm not right) |
| Is there splendor, I’m not ashamed |
| Desire shoots through me like birds singing |
| (The way you move no ocean’s waves were ever as fluid) |
| They’re calling on me |
| They’re calling on me |
| They’re calling on me |
| (I am fine) |
| They’re calling on me |
| They’re calling on me |
| They’re calling on me |
| (I'm not fine) |
| I hit the mark |
| I target moon, I target sky, I target sun |
| Fall down on the world |
| Fall down on the world |
| Fall down on the world before it falls on you |
| Like beggars, like dogs |
| Like whores, us all |
| (I'm alright) |
| Like beggars, like dogs |
| Like stars, us all |
| (I'm not right) |
| Shoot straight for my heart |
| (And when you were near no sky was ever quite so clear) |
| Shoot straight for my heart |
| Like stars, so small |
| Like us when we fall |
| (I am fine) |
| Like beggars, like whores |
| Like lovers |
| Oh, get up too far |
| Oh, get up too far |
| Like stars above |
| Look down so far |
| Like stars above |
| Look down at us all |
