Song lyrics
Your eyes are just like black spiders
Your hair and dress in ribbons. Babycakes
In despair or incoherent. Nothing in between
China white, my bride tonight
Smiling on the tiles

Bring that minute back
We never get so close as when the sunward flight begins

I share it all with you
Powder blue
Stumble through the crowds together
They're trying to ignore us. That's o.k.
I'm proud to be the one you hold when the shakes begin

Sallow skinned, starry eyed, blessed
In our sin
Bring that minute back
We never get so close to death
Makes you so alive
I share it all with you
Powder blue

beautiful. i get chills every time i hear it especially at the
sallow skinned, starry eyed, blessed in our sin bit

and the never get so close to death, makes you so alive bit

nothing like Garvey singing out the words powder blue with all his heart. nothing like this song when you're feeling depressed and worthless. and the sound of breaking glass so suddenly at the end is fitting. that's always how the break comes isn't it? flawless
