Phosphorescent - Song For Zula (BBCRadioPerformance2013)

Some say love is a burning thing

That it makes a fiery ring

Oh but I know love as a fading thing

Just as fickle as a feather in a stream

See honey I saw love

You see it came to me

It put its face up to my face so

I could see

Yeah then I saw love disfigure me

Into something I am not recognizing

See the cage it called

I said come on in

I will not open myself up this way again

Nor lay my face to the soil

Nor my teeth to the sand

I will not lay like this for days now upon end

You will not see me fall

Nor see me struggle to stand

To be acknowledge by some touch from his gnarled hands

You see the cage it called

I said come on in

I will not open myself up this way again

You see the moon is bright in that treetop night

I see the shadows that

We cast in the cold clean light

And my feet are gold

And my heart is white

And we race out on the desert plains all night

See honey I am not some broken thing

I do not lay here in the dark waiting for thee

No my heart is gold

My feet are light

And I am racing out on the desert plains all night

So some say love is a burning thing

That it makes a fiery ring

Oh but I know love as a caging thing

Just a killer come to call from some awful dream

And all you folks you come to see

You just stand there in the glass looking at me

But my heart is wild

And my bones are steam

And I could kill you with my bare hands if I was free
