We will wake as light is draped
Like ribbons on the trees
With woven tongues and fingers spun
Between these dusty kneesThe branches crack beneath my back

We are engineers and we are architects
Making better guesses and empty threats
It was all for something, and there's nothing wrong
We know what is coming and what is to be doneBones will arc and cradle sparks
From circuits smudged in bliss
The newborn blush that makes us drunk
On every little kiss
We are happy scientists
Our theories long abandoned
For kites of red and feather beds
For moments without sadnessWe will jump for joyAnd I'm helpless darling

Cause you turn me on
