lyrics

One day electric cityscapes sprang into life
Projecting stars onto the blank sky
Arrays of windows glowing like an insect eye in the night
I met a girl there amid the carnivals and fairs
We rode the ferris wheel through thin air
She scooped me up into the blackness of her pupils and I sighed

What secret lightning bolts could strike me?
What stars descending from above?
What strange designs in the white noise between our lifelines
Spelling out our names in gravity and love?

One year I dwelt in cellars covered with debris
While darkness bleached my body bone white
I trained my telescopes on God, I raised my lightning rod up high
I saw a girl's face arrayed 'cross constellations
Trailing braids beaded with starshine
The emptiness between her lips cast down eclipses on my eyes

What secret lightning bolts could strike me?
What stars descending from above?
What strange designs in the white noise between our lifelines
Spelling out our names in gravity and love?

What secret lightning bolts could strike me
In hidden nerves I knew not of?
What points where ley lines crossed the light years between our star signs
Spelling out our names in gravity and love?

Love, love, love
Love, love, love
Love, love, love, love
Love, love, love
