Kimberly Lyrics

 The wall is high, the black barn,
  The babe in my arms in her swaddling clothes
 And I know soon that the sky will split
And the planets will shift,
  Balls of jade will drop and existence will stop.
  Little sister, the sky is falling, I don't mind, I 
don't mind.
 Little sister, the fates are calling on you. 

Ah, here I stand again in this old 'lectric 
whirlwind,
 The sea rushes up my knees like flame
 And I feel like just some misplaced Joan Of Arc
 And the cause is you lookin' up at me.
Oh baby, I remember when you were born,
  It was dawn and the storm settled in my belly
  And I rolled in the grass and I spit out the gas
 And I lit a match and the void went flash
  And the sky split and the planets hit,
 Balls of jade dropped and existence stopped, stopped, 
stop, stop.
  Little sister, the sky is falling, I don't mind, I 
don't mind.
 Little sister, the fates are calling on you. 

 I was goin' crazy, so crazy I knew I could break through 
with you,
So with one hand I rocked you and with one heart I reached 
for you.
  Ah, I knew your youth was for the takin', fire on a 
mental plane,
  So I ran through the fields as the bats with their baby 
vein faces
  Burst from the barn and flames in a violent violet 
sky,
And I fell on my knees and pressed you against me.
 Your soul was like a network of spittle,
Like glass balls movin' in like cold streams of 
logic,
 And I prayed as the lightning attacked
That something will make it go crack, something will make 
it go crack,
  Something will make it go crack, something will make it 
go crack. 

 The palm trees fall into the sea,
  It doesn't matter much to me
As long as you're safe, Kimberly.
 And I can gaze deep
Into your starry eyes, baby, looking deep in your eyes, 
baby,
 Looking deep in your eyes, baby, looking deep in your 
eyes, baby,
  Into your starry eyes, oh. 

 Oh, in your starry eyes, baby,
  Looking deep in your eyes, baby, looking deep in your eyes, 
baby, oh. 

  Oh, looking deep in your eyes, baby,
Into your starry eyes, baby, looking deep in your eyes, 
baby
