[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] The sky is shedding gold upon the pavement A heavy perfume rising from the rust We're dancing in the garden of the stagnant And turning every memory into dust The iron blossoms open in the alley A celebration of the quiet bone We're drifting down the center of the valley To find a place where we can be alone [Pre-Chorus] Wait for the flicker Wait for the hum The air is getting thicker The party's just begun [Chorus] Oh, isn't it a perfect gold? A heavy light is coming home We're drifting where the shadows fold And every secret's bleached into the bone It's a lovely kind of feeling When the world is finally peeling [Verse 2] The sky is blooming teeth and silver feathers A heavy rain of diamonds on the glass We're weaving through the tangle of the tethers To watch the velvet shadows start to pass The giants in the smoke are singing low A choir made of sparks and static lace There's nowhere left for all the light to go But settle on the hollow of your face [Bridge] Line them up... The leaden eyes are watching... The sparks fly wide... A halo made of nothing... They missed. [Final Chorus] Oh, isn't it a perfect gold? A heavy light is coming home We're drifting where the shadows fold And every secret's bleached into the bone It's a lovely kind of feeling When the world is finally peeling [Outro] The light is finally here... The most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen...
