One day we'll be gliding like a jet plane
Summersaulting in the cold rain
Blue birds instead of metal in the brain
Summersaulting in the cold rain
Giant scissors cut my chains
Perfume over the odour stains
So you won't see me crumble, you won't see me fade
There's a mountain on my back
I have mumbled in my corner, been crippled in my cage
But you won't see me crumble, you won't see me fade
The daughter of disorder
Has lavendered the water
I've finally come of age (age, oh)
We'll be giggling yellow children
We'll have shaken off this omen
We'll see the harvest of our"Amens"
And say the prayer of Jabez
Giant scissors cut my chains
Perfume over the odour stains
So you won't see me crumble, you won't see me fade
There's a mountain on my back
I have mumbled in my corner, been crippled in my cage
But you won't see me crumble, you won't see me fade
The daughter of disorder
Has lavendered the water
I've finally come of age, age oh
Our hymns will trouble the wind
Our hymns will trouble the wind
Like tambourines that shake and shine unhinged
We'll scream"Ratatata""Ratatata"
Our hymns will trouble the wind
Soprano screams that squeal out freedom's dream
The captive finally, the captive finally wins
And you won't see me crumble, you won't see me fade
There's a mountain on my back
I've mumbled in my corner, been crippled in my cage
But you won't see me crumble, you won't see me fade
The daughter of disorder
Has lavendered the water
I've finally come of age
And you won't see me crumble, you won't see me fade
There's a mountain on my back
I've mumbled in my corner, been crippled in my cage
But you won't see me crumble, you won't see me fade
The daughter of disorder
Has lavendered the water
I've finally come of age
I've come of age, I've come of age
