Momus - Rhetoric lyrics
[Momus - Rhetoric lyrics]
The way that life began
I'll love you till the newspaper
Reports the fall of man
I'll love you till you turn into
A person I don't know
I'll love you till the desert
Sands are buried under snow
I'll love you till the razorblades
Are held against my neck
I'll love you till the sea glows
Purple and the sky goes black
I'll love you till Mount Everest
Falls down into the sea
I'll love you till the tiny
Worms go burrowing in me
The lovely owl upon the bough
Is swooping down for me
The brambles tangle round and round far
As the eye can see
I'll love you till the astronauts
Go walking on the sun
I'll love you till the reaper comes
To wake me with his gun
I'll love you till the melting clocks
Have chimed a melting hour
Love you till the world has stopped
And time has lost it's power
I love you like the engine
Of a little blue machine
I love you like the bee that dies
Dies astride a queen
