coal black virgin spinning above an open ocean i hear i feel i need i know seven sailors swimming shipwrecked seven smudgy mirrors you gotta let em go well i checked out the royal place saw the babies all bathed in champagne so many miles of dirt i traveled just to park here in your shade borne away on a wave of love borne away on a wave well they picked poor robin clean in the shadow ravine i seen the bones i seen his teeth well it s scrawled upon the streets our enemy s victory s complete and they ll be coming to collect within the next few hundred weeks i get a little soft shiver in my shoulder cause i think there s someone watching i get a little soft whistle in my ears now but i guess it s just time passing borne away on a wave of love borne away on a wave blessed blue black virgin shifting in the ocean s rhythm partly living tissue partly always hidden give me strength vision watch over the earth it s listing lady like it s almost broken are my eyes now closed or opened  our parents are fading out fading out fading out into the fuzzy fuzz i can t i gasp i gasp and pant i can t get enough air into my lungs i see the bald head of a vulture come cresting up the stairs time holds me greenish brown and dying in a studio somewhere borne away on a wave of love and it s all for you girl borne away on a wave
