It was the morning of the May celebrations, your heart collapsed
And you took its weary arms up to the rocky peaks
(Oh no don't look for me, I'm gone)
And as they crowned her the summer's new love and searched for her mother
I caught your silhouette falling down to the beach
(Oh no don't look for me, I'm--)
And though I'm tried I'll be alright and you will talk me down
I know I tried to climb inside this monster's open mouth
Where I'll never be found
I came as quickly as antelopes but my stomach swam
To the possibilities of those unhappy ends
(I guess our luck's run out this time)
And as your body was swallowed by waves we all saw the whale
We all heard you singing as you slipped between its teeth
(I guess our luck's run out this--)
Alexi is feeling her way through the dark
But her eyes are peering through these bottletops
And someone is falling asleep in the bath
And though I'm tried I'll be alright and you will talk me down
I know I tried to climb inside this monster's open mouth
And though I'm trying to be alright I guess I don't know how
These fireworks fly into the sky where I will soon be found
