Xiu Xiu - I Swallow the Moon lyrics

'Twas in the spring one summer's day
The fallow field atomic test
Sheer lightning, white

I swallow the moon i swallow the light
I swallow the moon light, light, light

I dropped onto a burning knee
My image blasted away

I swallow the moon i swallow the light
I swallow the moon light, light, light

Pointed toward the sea the wraith of me
And I push it back out in wayward elation
Of black and sightless white
To the torrent curve of Earth

I swallow the moon i swallow the light
I swallow the moon light, light, light
