Lyrics
0:00When you catch the light
0:03You look like your mother
0:08It crushes me some
0:11Just right from the side
0:16When you catch the light
0:18There's a flash of wild creatures
0:22Before the Stone Age of the preachers
0:26And the husbands and the wives
0:36When you catch the light
0:38The flood changes direction
0:43And darkens the lens
0:45That projects my disguise
0:50As you fight along-side
0:52You'll discover my weakness
0:57I'm not fighting for your freedom
1:01I am fighting to be wild
1:11"Hey little girl would you like to be
1:15The king's pet or the king "
1:18"I'd choose odorless and invisible
1:21But otherwise I would choose the king
1:25Even though it sounds the loneliest
1:31And my brother's hands would poison me "
1:37"Hey little girl would you like to be
2:10The king's pet or the king "
2:13"I'd choose odorless and invisible
2:17But otherwise I would choose the king
2:20Even though it sounds melodious
2:26There's no mother's hands to quiet me "
When you catch the light You look like your mother It crushes me some Just right from the side When you catch the light There's a flash of wild creatures Before the Stone Age of the preachers And the husbands and the wives When you catch the light The flood changes direction And darkens the lens That projects my disguise As you fight along-side You'll discover my weakness I'm not fighting for your freedom I am fighting to be wild "Hey little girl would you like to be The king's pet or the king " "I'd choose odorless and invisible But otherwise I would choose the king Even though it sounds the loneliest And my brother's hands would poison me " "Hey little girl would you like to be The king's pet or the king " "I'd choose odorless and invisible But otherwise I would choose the king Even though it sounds melodious There's no mother's hands to quiet me "
