The Universe Is Laughing

October throws herself before my feet And the sky goes powder blue Holding her breath for me I never thought myself a city shoe But it's made of gold today And it breaks my heart in two 'Cause I want to hold onto it But there's nothing to hold And the universe is laughing 'Cause all a boy can really do is watch a boy unfold We were listening to this city hum and hush Lying perfect in the dark I felt you tremble 'neath my touch Was it everything we love, we can't explain Like if the world should disappear Only music will remain 'Cause I want to hold onto it But there's nothing to hold And the universe is laughing 'Cause all a boy can really do is watch a boy unfold And I want to hold onto it But there's nothing to hold And the universe is laughing 'Cause all a boy can really do is watch a boy unfold And the galaxies, the galaxies are howling The silent moon, a kick of pink and gold And the whole damn universe is laughing And all a boy can really do is watch a boy unfold
