[Verse 1]
He came spitting fire
On a day like no other
Tried to hold you near to me
I heard him passing over

[Refrain]
He made a banquet for the stray dogs of the air
He put our love in clear perspective

[Verse 2]
Blue, red and green plumage
Trailing behind him now
Swaddling the sky in its aftermath
The last day coming down

[Refrain]
He made a banquet for the stray dogs of the air
He put our love in clear perspective

[Outro]
Rising, rising, rising, rising
