[Verse 1]
A ball of light fills my room
Dances in without a tune
But banging drums overhead
Pin me down upon my bed
[Chorus]
Open up my mouth to scream:
Are my parents proud of me?
Mother, father, can I lie
Between your bodies tonight?
[Verse 2]
Other gods just playing games
Rolling stone down sky lanes
Countless seconds, one, two, three
Miles away, but coming for me
[Chorus]
Open up my mouth to scream:
Are my parents proud of me?
Mother, father, can I lie
Between your bodies tonight?
[Verse 3]
Can I grow up, be a man?
It's been like this since time began
And maybe if I hum along
It would sooth me into song
[Verse 4]
A ball of light fills my room
If I danced, would it dance too?
And with the sheets from the bed
I could scare the storm instead
[Chorus]
Open up my mouth to scream:
Are my parents proud of me?
Mother, father, can I lie
Between your bodies tonight?
