Prometheus

Prometheus brought fire
To Christmas Eve
The sun was shining
And the clouds wouldn't stop parting
And the cases kept on climbing
And the juniper berries
Were singing songs about an ocean
And she's standing in the garden
As the flowers burned around her

The flowers kept on growing
And the seasons kept on turning
And the animals were drowning
As Icarus slept softly
At the bottom of the ocean
Cause the ark was sinking faster
Than the trees above the river
A father and a daughter
Who are standing in the garden
Singing songs about the flowers

What did you mean by "the flowers"
I don't see flowers
No flowers

I was made of glass
I pulled the ashtray from my mouth
And watched the world fade beneath me
At the salted edge of Sodom
She was standing in the garden
Like Eve at the edge of Eden
Singing songs about an ocean
Where Icarus was sleeping

Cause at least he wasn't burning
And the clouds wouldn't stop parting
And the clouds wouldn't stop parting
And the clouds wouldn't stop parting

I suppose I know
We're crawling toward Moriah
I could be bitter
My mouth could fill with bile

I suppose it shows
We'll never reach Moriah
I could be bitter
My mouth could fill with bile
I'd slip

I suppose I know
We'll never reach Moriah
