your eyes are just like black spiders
your hair and dress in ribbons
babycakes
in despair or incoherent , nothing in between
china white , my bride tonight
smiling on the tiles

bring that minute back
we never get so close as when the sunward flight begins
i share it all with you
powder blue , oh

stumble through the crowds together
they’re trying to ignore us
that’s okay
i’m proud to be the one you hold when the shakes begin
sallow – skinned , starry – eyed
blessed in our sin

bring that minute back
we never get so close to death , makes you so alive
i share it all with you
powder blue , oh
yeah , yeah
hey , yeah

hey , yeah

bring that minute back
we’ll never get so close as when the sunward flight begins
i share it all with you
powder blue , oh
