James - Bubbles lyrics
[James - Bubbles lyrics]
Take an axe to your past to your family tree
Carve a face from the wood an effigy
Make wings from the leaves
Hide from the bark kindling
For the hair rose for his heart
Someone to draw you right
Someone to catch the light
Draw the blue from the skies into his eyes
Carve the lines on his face
A map of the race
Juice from the root of a beet for his skin
Set the tides of the blood
With the pulse of the drum
Someone to draw you right
Someone to catch the light i'm alive
I'm alive
Wash the boy in the stream so tenderly
Press his lips to your lips
Give him your breath
He awakes with the weight
Of the vision he holds sees the rent in time
Through which he must fold
Someone to draw you right
Someone to catch the light i'm alive
I'm alive
Stir the heart with a drum
Kiss smoke in his mouth
Show him signs of a life
That's a whole lot better
And he calls down the rain
Tornadoes & hurricanes
There's a world in his veins
That's a whole lot better i'm alive
I'm alive
Fingers raised to the sky
A snake for a spine he's drunk on a life
That's a whole lot better
Teach him songs of the bees
Double helix and honey comb
Play him wind through the leaves
That's a whole lot better alive, I'm alive
Carve a face from the wood an effigy
Make wings from the leaves
Hide from the bark kindling
For the hair rose for his heart
Someone to draw you right
Someone to catch the light
Draw the blue from the skies into his eyes
Carve the lines on his face
A map of the race
Juice from the root of a beet for his skin
Set the tides of the blood
With the pulse of the drum
Someone to draw you right
Someone to catch the light i'm alive
I'm alive
Wash the boy in the stream so tenderly
Press his lips to your lips
Give him your breath
He awakes with the weight
Of the vision he holds sees the rent in time
Through which he must fold
Someone to draw you right
Someone to catch the light i'm alive
I'm alive
Stir the heart with a drum
Kiss smoke in his mouth
Show him signs of a life
That's a whole lot better
And he calls down the rain
Tornadoes & hurricanes
There's a world in his veins
That's a whole lot better i'm alive
I'm alive
Fingers raised to the sky
A snake for a spine he's drunk on a life
That's a whole lot better
Teach him songs of the bees
Double helix and honey comb
Play him wind through the leaves
That's a whole lot better alive, I'm alive
