We were just anemic kids in search of something deeper
I told you I could be someone,
you told me all your secrets
When the streetlights they came on it meant nothing to us
The party moved from Kelly's place to the Barndale mini-bus
Said you made small cuts for slight relief
As though it gave you power,
singing your
songs under the shower I told you I would get lost in those pills
In St Helena's Park I danced alone amid windmills
We now have the music,
so use it or you'll lose it
Black Mountain, their solitude
Rhythm and rhyme,
words by the fireside
Black Mountain,
their solitude
My heroine,
sing for your subordinate
My purple
patch for that some sky to die under
Your toes reach for the woolen socks
My mind feels like it's full of rocks A
beautiful mind like yours it needs protecting
I know it gets familiar,
the neglecting
Spin kaleidoscopic ballerina
Two alleyways of rainbow-colored chalk
Where ordinance surveyors leave their markings
Watch you laugh between the sparks of your lighter in the dark
Black Mountain, their solitude
Rhythm and rhyme,
words by the fireside
Black Mountain,
their solitude My heroine,
sing for your subordinate
Cause you're a survivor,
see the warrior in me
We then found the music,
so use it or you'll lose it
Black Mountain, their solitude Rhythm and rhyme,
words by the fireside
Black Mountain,
their solitude My heroine,
sing for your subordinate
