lyrics

Hold your breath.
Hold your breath.
Pour the light into your head.

Hold the book.
Hold the knife.
Hold the page up to the light.

Pick a card,
any card.
See the animal in the dark.

Smell the breath,
Smell the fear,
When he pulls you by the ears.

Magic is a lonely word –
a lonely reason to crush the bird.
The trickster wrote it in his book,
but say it aloud and he’s gone.

Lover is a magic word
in a vanishing act.
And he will never tell you what it means,
but he will saw your woman in half.

Don’t look in the mirror
when you say his name.

Imagine a colour.
Imagine a colour,
white like a tiger, red like the sky.

Imagine a colour.
Imagine a colour,
white like a fire, red like his mind.
