Sleep, the great painkiller

And me, the great asskisser

Wanting you to wake up all of me

In underwater make-up

The surface of what you don't see

Empathetic whistling

In the darkroom and at the TV

You don't have to watch them grow

They don't hurry, they all wanna be

You in the ballroom

You don't spit on your dancing feet

Come outside, everyone's outside

Come outside, everyone's outside

Come outside, everything's alright

Look at these crazy stars

Boy, you push me so hard, I'm waiting to fall in

To your hallowed hollywood

Half born, half made

Love is half blast and half burden

A body's half weight and half motion

Together we settle into the hum.

What a beautiful face

Cracking through the ice,

I follow you to rattlesnakes

And your basic appetites

Shuddering in the smoke and roses

Shivering in the bright sun

I follow you to wild places

To see what god has done

And settle into the hum.

Come outside, everyone's outside

Come outside, everyone's outside

Come outside, everything's alright

Look at these crazy stars

Boy, you push me so hard, I'm waiting to fall in

To your hallowed hollywood

Half born, half made

Love is half blast and half burden

A body's half weight and half motion

Together we settle into the hum.
