Lyrics
The light around the body is the storm or stillness of the heart
Are you the desert winds blinding?
The devils staircase winding?
Squandering your darlings
While the Orion, with his watchful eye, hangs upside down

The light around the body is choking on eucalyptus and rose
The velvet hand milks the deer
Queer lake is on fire
Where the highway meets the highway scum
You swoon at the seal of Solomon

The light around the body is the larch turn it’s yellow face to the sun
A people stare down the barrel of a gun
After the fault lines of the earth had come undone
And the red gums bleed in the valley of the giants
The angels in the mountain ash have turned their backs

As if waking from a dream
The pleasure fades as the morning breaks
The solstice has come and gone again
And again we haven’t learned anything
We’re the sap that flows in the spring like gold
So down sugar mountain we go
