lyrics

Who holds the key to the final door?
Hey lolly don’t you know?
Got a big old bag full of purses
Hey lolly don’t you know?

I asked for less, but you gave me more
Hey lolly don’t you know?
I’ll keep on bowing till I pass the floor
Hey lolly don’t you know?

In springtime, we pass away
We are born astride our dying day
Intwined with the light of day
Is sea foam and the astral plane
Are you looking for me?

Down in the dirt with the worms and roaches
Hey lolly, move away
I can’t tell the priests from the poachers
Hey lolly move away

I’d die to know when the way is pure
Hey lolly right away
I would not feel so insecure
Hey lolly right away

The freedom behind our skin
Is the only world I’m living in
Free form - is it underpinned?
I want more than I’m putting in
Are you running thin, please

Be my teacher, be my guide
Be the sweet truth come alive
Be the blood upon my door

Be my lover, be my son
Be the fabric come undone
There’s a light on in my room

The freedom behind our skin
Is the only world I’m living in
Free form: is it underpinned?
I want more than I’m putting in
Are you running thin, please?
