black ice

Black Ice

You become the angel in human form
Does that make sense when we put it that way?
Yeah

It was snowing when we woke up, and we thought of staying home
Tell everyone of the edelweiss and black ice on the road
Christmas around the corner now, cypress in bloom
Your brother being born in your grandmother’s room

Can you keep a secret without telling a lie?
Can you go to bed without saying good night?
Why do it right when you can do it yourself?
And give up

When rains, I feel like a kid in a car
Streetlights and the satellites blur with the stars
I’d give you my life if you promised to want it
Or talk with balloons with your name written on ’em

Can you keep a secret without telling a lie?
Can you go to bed without saying good night?
Why do it right when you can do it yourself?
And give up, give up, give up

Being in human form, as you know, is very challenging
There are bumps in the road where you’ll
You’ll really fall out of control

Trying to teleport back through the telephone
This airport lounge looks a lot like
Yawning our life away whispering, “Sure”
I found myself in the clothes on your floor
Now I’m spread around, tweaking out
Trying to be loved, be loved, be loved

Can you keep a secret without telling a lie? (Give up, be loved, give up, be loved)
Can you go to bed without saying good night? (Give up, be loved, give up, be loved)
Why do it right when you can do it yourself? (Give up, be loved, give up, be loved)
And give up, be loved, give up, be loved

Give up, be loved, give up, be loved
Give up, be loved, give up, be loved
Give up, be loved, give up, be loved
Give up, be loved, give up, be loved
Give up, be loved, give up, be loved
Give up, be loved, give up, be loved
Give up, be loved, give up, be loved
Give up, be loved, give up, be loved
Give up, be loved, give up, be loved
Give up, be loved, give up, be loved

Wish I was someone, as we shall say, is “one with all”
Usually what we mean by that
Is that your energy field moves through energy very quickly
It processes the invisible as it it is being spoken out loud
