A letra:
She
is benediction
She is addicted to thee
She is the root
connection
She is connecting with he
Here I go and I don't know why
I
fell so ceaselessly
Could it be he's taking over me
I'm dancing barefoot
Heading for a
spin
Some strange music draws me in
Makes me come on like some
heroine
She is sublimation
She is the
essence of thee
She is concentrating on he
Chosen by she
Here I go and I don't know why
I
spin so ceaselessly
Could it be he's taking over me
I'm dancing barefoot
Heading for a
spin
Some strange music draws me in
Makes me come on like some
heroine
She is re-creation
She, intoxicated
by Thee
She has the slow sensation that
He is levitating with
she
Here I go and I don't know why
I
spin so ceaselessly
Till I lose my sense of gravity
I'm dancing barefoot
Heading for a
spin
Some strange music draws me in
Makes me come on like some
heroine
Oh God, I fell for You
The plot of our life sweats in the dark
like a face
The mystery of childbirth, of childhood itself
Grave
visitations
What is it that calls to us?
Why must we pray screaming?
Why must
not death be redefined?
We shut our eyes, we stretch out our
arms
And whirl on a pane of glass
An afixiation, a fix on anything
The
line of life, the limb of a tree
The hands of he and the promise
that she
Is blessed among women
Oh God, I fell for You
Oh God, I
fell for You
Oh God, I fell for You
