around your head, drowned and wet
is a ring of lights, buzzing lights
cousin, light is not foreign
no, such is light in me tonight
i at all white and i not white
i at all white and i at not white

but wait i wasn't born
i wasn't born to hide
or shy from light
i was not born to hide

i got limbs all strong and slim
but there's nothing here to hold
i got limbs all made to bend
and, cousin, made to fold
but wait, i wasn't born
i wasn't born to hide
or shy from light
i wasn't born just to die

no i was born and i got love
and you were born and i got love
cousin, don't you know?

dead heart, dead heart, dead heart
