Dirty Projectors - Offspring Are Blank lyrics

There was a single one then there were ten
With time made a hundred
And a hundred million

You came and spoke to me i saw your face
Your words were like raindrops from
A storm in a vase each generation different

He was made to love her
She was made to love him
And their offspring love them

And in the marriage of eagle and snake
The parents are fertile but
The offspring is blank

The fire rages and all through the night
The flame is contagious but the
Heat feels all right

Can't recognize our poverty



He was made to love her
She was made to love him
And their offspring love them

There is a darkness I feel comin' down
And shadows that lengthen from the
Sky to the ground
And a silence that can swallow sound

He was made to love her
She was made to love him
And their offspring love them
He was made to love her
She was made to love him
And their offspring love both of them
