Wind-Up Birds - Wild Body High

Used to live down deep beneath the water
Where the ice fields flow with mercury
Till I found myself a refugee

Here I stand now, just hauling a plow
Down a crop field outside this old town
Another man's toil for the endless underground

Wild body high
Won't you let me unzip your skin and wear it as mine
Cause every night when the sun goes down
They come to run me out of town
But through the darkness I know
There's a body lying open for what's left of my own

The folks here spit their acid breath
Choking on my name like a promise of death
The more they hear, the less they really care to know

From just beneath their iron lung
Shimmer like a seashell, sharper than a tongue
Every red moon rising like a fire in my bones

Wild body high
Won't you let me unzip your skin and wear it as mine
Cause every night when the sun goes down
They come to run me out of town
But through the darkness I know
There's a body lying open for what's left of my own

Nothing left for me to hide
I'll open you up to finally rest inside
What the black ground yearns for I won't let it take

As the moon rises one last time
I'll set you down neath the blood red sky
Never more to hold your holy crown where I can't reach

Wild body high
Won't you let me unzip your skin and wear it as mine
Cause you know every night when the sun goes down
They come to run me out of the town
But through the darkness I know
(I know, I know)
