I want a child that never grows
and a love that'll never get too old
no slow days, there's an everchanging pulse
busy nights, the brightest lights
you get your cake and eat it too
I want to wake up to parades
and neon billboard signs where the colours never fade away
it's the happiest of all memorial days
a slow retreat, a fast defeat
If you're still alone i'd like to come back home
I have been sleeping with the wolves
velvet sheets, the fattest sheep, and an everblowing cold breeze -
it's like the planet's just for me
there's so much earth, so much ash, so much sea
