Floating Action - The Balance lyrics

At dawn there was a tremor Below the cavernous wind-picked sky Coughing through talk and pipe-smoke Reveals the entrance to a mine The balance keeps it from breaking I loved you then They pa**ed in beards and moleskins Beneath a curtain but out of shade There's stains and holes on the scarlet gown That devours suitors then turns to dust Come back with nest of lark eggs Rather than words come thoughts of disgust The balance bends before us Seeking refuge as daylight breaks
