She’s an incarnation of God
Turning human everywhere the roads criss-cross
And she is tempted to turn towards destinations she can’t see
Where so many live in dirt, wounded so brilliantly
In the distant summer light, I watch her tumbling
But her footsteps calm the earth as she moves by
And many men approach her speaking ever so sly
And she is tempted to fall into the arms of everyone
Oh in sweaty beds humanity is born, In needy sex humanity is wonderful
Into this fatal well will she plunge?
So hard she’ll lose her faith and peace and warmth
And in gutters will she writhe with only shadows at her side
Or will I visit her in padded rooms at night?
Feeding her bananas through a tiny crack of light
OH GODDAMN IT’S SO EASY TO FALL DOWN!
GODDAMN IT’S SO EASY TO FALL DOWN!
GODDAMN IT’S SO EASY TO FALL DOWN
I know it’s true, but we get up sometimes
To heal the blind and sick with tails of our past lives
She’s an incarnation of God
And here is each puzzle piece that we have robbed
Tiny fragments of one truth from stolen kisses in her room
Shafts of light to fill our hollow heads
Oh in naked arms I was born again
