lyrics

A ball of light fills my room
dances in without a tune,
but banging drums overhead
pin me down upon my bed.

Open up my mouth to scream,
are my parents proud of me?
Mother, Father can I lie between your bodies tonight?

Are the Gods just playing games,
rolling stone down sky lanes?
Count the seconds one, two, three
miles away but coming for me.

Open up my mouth to scream,
are my parents proud of me?
Mother, Father can I lie between your bodies tonight?

Can I grow up, be a "man"?
It's been like this since time began.
Maybe if I hum along
it will soothe me in to song.

A ball of light fills my room,
if I danced would it dance too?
And with the sheets from the bed
I could scare the storm instead.

Open up my mouth to scream,
are my parents proud of me?
Mother, Father can I lie between your bodies tonight?
