Creatures kissing in the rain
Shapeless in the dark again
In the hanging garden, please don’t speak
In the hanging garden, no one sleeps
In the hanging garden
In the hanging garden
Casting halos on the moon
Gives my hands the shapes of angels
In the heat of the night, the animals scream
In the heat of the night, walking into a dream
Fall, fall, fall, fall into the walls
Jump, jump out of time
Fall, fall, fall, fall out of the sky
Cover my face as the animals cry
In the hanging garden
In the hanging garden
Creatures kissing in the rain
Shapeless in the dark again
In the hanging garden, change the past
In the hanging garden, wearing furs and masks
Fall, fall, fall, fall into the walls
Jump, jump out of time
Fall, fall, fall, fall out of the sky
Cover my face as the animals die
In the hanging garden, as the animals die
Cover my face as the animals die
In the hanging garden
In the hanging garden
In the hanging garden
In the hanging garden
In the hanging garden
