lyrics

PROTECTION

Stretch out my wrists and fingers.
My teeth, white as a blank page.
I am making impressions.
My voice, starting to network.
It’s nice to see you again.
Lampshade, life of the party.

And if you hear a distant sound, a teardrop in the sea.
It’s probably nothing, but it might be me. Needing...

Protection.
I need protection.

I see beauty in profile.
Just like some feathered angel,
floating through on a warm wind.
My hands move to her body.
Soft skin is turning to ice.
I chose just the wrong moment, again.

And if I say my prayers tonight with you in my bed.
Help me to believe those words aren’t dead. Give me...

Protection.
I need protection.

Give me, give me protection.

And if I’ve saved a seat for me somewhere underground
let me hear the tiniest of sounds. I need...

Protection.
