[Verse 1]
The wall is high
The black barn
The babe in my arms in the swaddling clothes
[Pre-Chorus]
And under the sun
And the sky will split
And the planets will shift
Balls of jade will drop
And existence will stop
[Chorus]
Little sister the sky is falling
I don't mind, I don't mind
Little sister the fates are calling on you
[Verse 2]
Uhhh, here I stand again
This electric whirlwind
When the sea rushes up my legs like flame
And I feel like some misplaced Joan of Arc
And the cause is you looking up at me
Oh baby I remember when you were born
It was dawn and the storm settled in my belly
And they rolled in the gra**
And they spewed out the gas
And they lit a match
And the whole thing went flash
[Pre-Chorus]
And the skies split
And the planets hit
And balls of jade dropped
And existence stopped
Stop, stop, stop
[Chorus]
Little sister the sky is falling
I don't mind, I don't mind
Little sister the fates are calling on you
[Verse 3]
Ah, I was young and crazy
So crazy I knew I could break through with you
So with one hand I rocked you
And with one heart I reached for you
Ah, I knew your youth for the taking
Far on a metal plane
[Outro]
The countries
Fall into the sea
It doesn't matter much to me
As long as you're safe here with me
And I can gaze deep
Into your starry eyes, baby
Into your deep blue eyes, baby
Deep, deep in your eyes, baby
Into the deep of your eyes, baby
Into your starry eyes, baby
