X- Rays Of Venus (folky instrumental)

1.
They show me the X-rays of Venus;
her starlight as sinew and bone
but I felt a mind in between us
so I know that she's not made of stone

 

2.
They show me the heart of an atom
but I've felt the soul of the Earth
they know every phylum and stratum
but their eyes never see her true worth.

 

Chorus:
And I wish I could rescue her
from the white ward they've got her locked in
people who never know her smile
mesmerized by the cells of her skin

 

Take the whole world back home with me
far away from their lenses and knives
where the children still can see
that underneath it all she's alive

 

3.
They show me the grey cells of rainclouds;
the photons that fit in her eyes
but the wind always seems to be saying loud,
"I am here! Why don't you realise".

 

4.
Just Like Lilliputs silly people
they tie her in wires of steel
if they really could they would see all
of her soul then they'd know it was real

 

Chorus:
And I wish I could rescue her
from the white ward they've got her locked in
people who never know her smile
mesmerized by the cells of her skin

 

Take the whole world back home with me
far away from their lenses and knives
where the children still can see
that underneath it all she's alive
