Floating Opera | Lyrics

I see your dorm lights dim in the ice storm
the power lines are down
so hurt me now for heaven's sake
I could live between your window and your curtain
I could sleep in the grass
while you watch me from the kitchen door

I'm alive to a hint of possibility
I'm alive to a shred of some humility
cause right now

I'm stranded on a desert isle
listening to Downward Spiral
I thought it'd be enough
but it doesn't change reality

a blue sword comes out of the night sky
that's the end of make-believe
so hurt me now for heaven's sake
watching dorm lights dim in the ice storm
the power lines are down
as you while behind your kitchen door

I'm alive to a hint of possibility
I'm alive to a shred of some humility
I'm alive to what's left of my dignity
(pause) cause right now

I'm stranded on a desert isle
listening to This Year's Model
thought that that would comfort me
but it doesn't keep me company
I'm stranded on a desert isle
listening to Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy
but it doesn't change reality

I see you dorm lights dim in the ice storm
the power lines are down
so hurt me now for heaven's sake yeah
I see you dorm lights dim in the ice storm
the power lines are down
so hurt me now for heaven's sake yeah

I see your dorm lights dim in the ice storm (the power lines are down)
I see your dorm lights dim in the ice storm (the power lines are down)
I see your dorm lights dim in the ice storm
the power lines are down

so hurt me now for heaven's sake yeah
