Something like forever is sailing the snowbound wind
Feeling lace stockings underneath her hand
Someone is the hero and someone plays the fool
Heartless in the heartland; it's a trial by fire
It's perfectly plastic in the silence here
Nothing makes sense but something's very clear
She echoes like the silence of breaking glass
Just falling to the sluice of the hourglass
She didn't want a rhyme but she got one just the same
Breaking out of prison; she's a holy fire
ch
She held her hand hoping for a black hawk heart
Beating like a drumhead trial of an honest man
Love is like a puzzle box open without a key
Someone call the ambulance; it's a mythic fire
ch
It's perfectly plastic...
