You cannot protect That which you cannot control I lit a candle for you But somebody blew it out
He comes to me in my dreams And tells me that he's all right That he's just been hiding out Somewhere there is no light Aw, yeah That'd be nice
And if you took it back I wouldn't feel so uncertain I wouldn't feel so uncertain That when your body hit the earth It opened up and swallowed you She kept you safe in her heart's center And always tucked you in at night When you woke up nervous She said, "Baby, you're inside of me You're safe inside my orange womb There's no reason to worry." They bought him magnets To form into different shapes Small spheres of metal Always carefully composed He's making hexagons He's making perfect squares He's making triangles He's making cylinders And in the junk yard Above the robot screams They gave him orders I'd rather drown in dreams No, I ain't letting down And how'd you keep a spouse And he dies slowly His blood is thinnin' out Things slip sometimes Things slip sometimes Things slip sometimes
