Light floats down day river on a red raft o' blood Night blocks out the heaven like a big black shiny bug Its hard soft shell shinin' white in one spot well It's hard place that I'm livin' but I'm doin' well well The white ice horse melted like a spot of silver well Its mane went last then disappeared the tail My life ran through my veins, whistlin' hollow well I froze in solid motion well well I heard the ocean swarmin' body well well I heard the beetle clickin' well
I sensed the thickest silence scream then I begin to dream My mind cracked like custard ran red until it sealed Turn to wooden and rolled like a wheel well well Thick black felt birds of flyin' with capes of solid chrome With feathers of solid chrome and beaks of solid bone In bleach the air around them, white and cold well well Till it showed in pain The hollow cane clicked like ever after Its shadow vanished shinin' silence, well well
