Bright white cockatoo
Baby how I ponder your
Shadow...

How you rip me off my feet
Rape me of my time to sleep
Shallow...

And from the sky, she speaks to me
And through her melody, lingers
I said, 'No, I don't want your love, no, I don't
Care anymore, flinger.'

Though I was equipped with a rainship
And a fireship and a starship, all come to dance
No one told me the end of the line
Could be only emptiness

That would swallow all my love
I fell beneath the company
Now shall I sleep in a bed of blood
Down in my deep, the rolling sea...

And in my angst for cool hips
Or softness
Or morning glow confidence
Well, I took it to the dog
Took it to the plants
Took it to the beach
I took it to the shark...
I found tenderness

But when I took it to the sky
To the bright white cockatoo on a satellite
She looked down on all my years
But with a click of a finger
She goes higher than the call for children
Higher than the stand that kills it
Should've slipped it off
I should've known there and then

But she swallowed all my love
I fell beneath the company
And now I sleep in a bed of blood
Down in the deep, the rolling sea...

Oh you roll, roll over me
Yeah, you roll over me

Oh pristine, my hopeless thing
