lyrics

They pulled the sun From the beat of the bumbledrum They blew the planets out of their trombones The Earth it sang With their spit and bacteria Until its mouth filled up with lava Oh no Some bodies grew Some of them ate and flew The shadows of sisters on the underground We took their tales And lived on the backs of whales And waited for words to fall down from the clouds But out on the streets There were hundreds of flying eyes Ooh ooh Filling each place For the barnacle race You were there Always up in arms Between the houses The water ran just like us Ooh ooh Pulling us safe Into home we had made She was there Oh so fabulous We heard the sound The lights inside every cloud And even the ones who never thought they could Looked up and stared at cumulous The trumpets cried From somewhere beyond the sky And I tried to think when I had seen a thing More wonderful than what I did My sisters' hair Lifted into the air With feathers all gold and bronze and silver And they left my side And looked like they'd never die Three sisters in the sky With trombones held high
