The wall is high, the black barn   The babe in my arms, in her swaddling clothes   And I know soon that the sky will split   And the planets will shift   Balls of jade will drop and existence will stop      Little sister, the sky is falling   I don't mind, I don't mind   Little sister, the fates are calling on you      Ah, here I stand again in this old 'lectric whirlwind   The sea rushes up my knees like flame   And I feel like just some misplaced, Joan of Arc   And the cause is you lookin' up at me      Oh baby, I remember when you were born   It was dawn and the storm settled in my belly   And I rolled in the grass and I spit out the gas   And I lit a match and the void went flash      And the sky split and the planets hit   Balls of jade dropped and existence stopped   Stopped, stop, stop      Little sister, the sky is falling   I don't mind, I don't mind   Little sister, the fates are calling on you      I was goin' crazy, so crazy, I knew   I could break through with you   So, with one hand I rocked you   And with one heart I reached for you      I knew you're a youth, was for the takin', fire on a mental plane   So, I ran through the fields as the bats with their baby vein faces   Burst from the barn and flames in a violet, violent sky   And I fell on my knees and pressed you against me      You're soul was like a network of spittle   Like glass balls movin' in like cold streams of logic   And I prayed as that lightning attacked   That something will make it go crack      Something will make it go crack   Something will make it go crack   Something will make it go crack      The palm trees fall into the sea   It doesn't matter much to me   As long as you're safe, Kimberly   And I can gaze deep into your starry eyes, baby      Looking deep in your eyes, baby   Looking deep in your eyes, baby   Looking deep in your eyes, baby   Into your starry eyes, oh      Oh, oh, in your starry eyes, baby   Looking deep in your eyes, baby   Looking deep in your eyes, oh oh      Oh, oh, looking deep in your eyes, baby   In your starry eyes, baby   Looking deep in your eyes, baby
