Children of the fire
Teardrop on the fire
Don't go chasing stains

Enough, enough I'm a kerb

Dove, dove is a herb

Feathers on my breath.

Fearless on my breath
Fearless of men, pray!

Feathers on my breath

Gentle abortion
Gentle implusion
Gentle handpotion
Shakes makes murder
Feel that I somehow pray.
Gentle implusion
Shakes me, makes me lighter
Feathers on my breath.
Gin to uncle Sean
Shakes me, makes me a rider.
Gentle impulsion
Shakes me, makes me lighter.
Glove love is a fear
Love, love is a verb
Go, Go fizzy flower, Ow fizzy doing word,
Feels like the summer rain, Gentle impulsion,
Shakes and makes me wider, Feels like the summer rain.
Love, love is a verb, Love is a doing word,
Fearless on my breath, Gentle impulsion,
Shakes me makes me lighter, Feather's on my breath.
It's not Portishead; it's Massive Attack.
Teardrop on the fire, feathers on my breath.
It's totally in town
You're stumbling a little
Love is a doom word.
Love is a doing word.
Love, love is on air
Love easy doing right
Feel love in summer, pray.
Love, love is a verb
Love is a doing word
Fearless on my breath.
Love, love isn't fair
Love is a dooming word.
Love, love, is a verb
Love is a doing word.
Shakespeare makes me wider.
Shakes me makes me lighter.
Teardrop on the fire, feeling so nice.
Teardrop on the fire, feathers on my breath.
Teardrop on the fire, feeling so nice
Teardrop on the fire, feathers on my breath
Teardrop on the fire
Fearless on my breath
Teardrop on the fire
Feathers on my breath
Stumbling a little
or
You're stubbly and tall
or
You're stubbly and tall
You're stumbling in the dark
You're stumbling in the dark.
You're totally in doubt.
