The Affordable Floors - Blackout lyrics

From the Album: Drumming on the Walls (1989) Blackout I find I'm spinning on my back across the floor I try to stay still but there's no stopping I feel your gravity wake in my blood I reel across the room and blackout, this is love One of these days I'll hollow out my whole heart with my hands I will take these broken bones, rebuild myself a man Take these fetters, I'll hammer them together for a soul But I'll be lost with the coming of your first breeze I try to run away, a pack across the town I hide, desire is a heartless hunter I feel the trajectory mapped in my blood I wheel around your feet and blackout, this is love One of these days I'll hollow out a pencil with my hands I will take a fountain pen and build myself a mast Take these letters, I'll stitch them together for a sail But I'll be back with the coming of your first breeze I find I rocket through the crowds above the ground I'd lie in wait for you but can't stop moving I yield to the roaring that's been coursing through my blood I kneel, give up my ghost and blackout, this is love One of these days I'll be watching while and apple hits the ground I will wait till the earth accepts the seed and takes it down Somewhat better I will understand why gravity is law And I'll be lost with the coming of the spring season Desire's only chemistry and Love a form of gravity Neurons twitch and flicker like the box that switches traffic lights My soul is a black snake a boy lit on the sidewalk It curls a twist and spitting sparks tills ash across the ground One of these days I'll hollow out my whole heart with my hands I will take these broken bones, rebuild myself a man Take these fetters, I'll hammer them together for a soul But I'll be lost with the coming of the blackout, this is love
