Get Up

And when the body finally starts to let go
Let it all go at once
Not piece by piece
But like a whole bucket of stars
Dumped into the universe

Whoooh! Watch it go!
Good-bye small hands
Good-bye small heart
Good-bye small head
My soul is climbing tree trunks and swinging from every branch

They're calling on me
They're calling on me
They're calling on... (I am fine)

They're calling on me
They're calling on me
They're calling on... (I'm not fine)

Do you think I'm an animal?
Am I not?
Do you like fur? (I'm alright)
Do you wanna come over?
Are we captive only for a short time? (I'm not right)
Is there splendor? I'm not ashamed (The way you move)
Desire shoots through me (No waves were ever)
Like birds singing (Quite as fluid)

They're calling on me
They're calling on me
They're calling on... (I am fine)

They're calling on me
They're calling on me
They're calling on... (I'm not blind)

I hit the mark
I target moon
I target sky
I target sun

Fall down on the world
Fall down on the world
Fall down on the world before it falls upon you

Like beggars, like stars
Like whores, us all (I'm alright)
Like beggars, like dogs
Like stars, us all (I'm not blind)

Shoot for my heart (And when you were near)
Shoot straight for my heart (No sky was ever quite as clear)

Like stars, so small
Like us, when we fall (I am fine)
Like beggars, like whores
Like lovers

Ah, get up!
Too far
Ah, get up!
Too far

Like stars above
Look down, we're so small (I am scared)
Like stars above
Look down on us all (And I'm not scared)
