Dark Storm Lyrics

by The Jezabels

Bright white cockatoo,
Baby how I ponder your
Shadow...

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e52707-the_jezabels~dark_storm_lyrics.html ]
How you rip me off my feet,
Rape me of my time to sleep
Shallow...

And from the sky, she speaks to me
And through her melody, lingers.
I said, "No, I don't want your love,
No, I don't care anymore, finger."

Though I was equipped with a rainship,
And a fireship and a starship, all come to dance.
No one told me the end of the line,
Could be only emptiness.

That would swallow all my love,
I fell beneath the company,
Now shall I sleep in a bed of blood,
Down in the deep, the rolling sea...

And in my angst for cool hips
Or softness
Or morning glow confidence,

I took it to the dog,
Took it to the plants,
Took it to the beach,
I took it to the shark...
I found tenderness.

But when I took it to the sky,
To the bright white cockatoo on a satellite,
She looked down on all my years,
But with a click of a finger,
She goes higher than the call for children,
Higher than the stand that kills it,
Should've flipped it off,
I should've known there and then.

But she swallowed all my love,
I fell beneath the company,
And now I sleep in a bed of blood,
Down in the deep, the rolling sea...

Oh you roll, roll over me.
Yeah, you roll over me.

Oh pristine, my hopeless thing.
