lyrics

Like a dangerous wine unfolded
Across an ancient bridge of gold
I see you girl, running with energy
For my misted almond legacy
You live as a Queen in a townhouse
With someone peeling grapes and placing them in your mouth
Is there a heart of flesh, inside your chest?
Or is it a thick white diamond
That's majestical.

I see you run across the bridge of gold
Want me to believe you're as old as I
I don't
I'm standing there with my sword
Just me in the purple sky
The thunder pours forth
I point my sword into the Universe
And I start to cry.

Like a jealousy fire that's flaming
Upon the ancient bridge of gold
I see the stick-shifters, weak as celery
Trying to get their tongues on my almond legacy
I live on the run, I got enemies
The same unchanged for twelve-plus centuries
Unhappy brown skins very contemporary
Look at me wishing, with a smidgen of jealousy
Beautiful brides on the bridge of fornever be
Begging me to go back and waste my energy
Beautified brides on the bridge of fornever be
Begging me to go back and taste my energy.

You want to get your hands on my timeless golden treasury
My milky almond necklace, timeless legacy
Pomegranate particles fall down into bed with me
Our bodies turn into white light, and we become melody.
