Salt

Hopes are hard as rock here A sacrifice in the name of heat Hopes are all I've got Pinned on diamonds Stretch my body out Before the sky Comes down Stretch my palms out to the farthest stars Burn my shoes in the sand Salt myself in crystals Preserve some of the music I have a godlike desire To lie down in the street Let the waters of the gutters Run right over me Sky break open Pour it down into me But the godlike desire To turn a back to the breeze Freeze Change the direction Of the wind that moves me For when the world ends And someone will sing the last song Someone dreams the first hymn When the world will spin again What the song says to the sound And the flame to the flower Stretch my body out Before the sky Comes down Stretch my palms out to the farthest stars Burn my shoes in the sand Salt myself in crystals Preserve some of the music Last living inch She comes dancing near What the night says to the horizon "When will I meet you?" Bring the oceans down Bring the skies to meet the ground What the master to the keeper Hopes are hard as rock here In the name of heat I have a godlike desire To lie down in the street Let the waters of the gutters Run right over me Sky break open Pour it down into me But the godlike desire To turn a back to the breeze Freeze Change the direction Of the wind that moves me Bring the oceans down Bring the skies to meet the ground For when the world ends And someone will sing the last song Someone dreams the first hymn When the world will spin again What the song says of the hour And the flame to the flower Stretch my body out Before the sky Comes down Stretch my palms out to the farthest stars Burn my shoes in the sand Salt myself in crystals Preserve some of the music
