lyrics

Drove a fast car, I left the city
The engine echoed out
A vague transmission riding on asphalt
The land is hollow, the land is hollow
50 lovers climbed through the temple
And touched the water
I saw their outlines inside my own
And saw their hands inside my fingers
I'm your angel, I'm your angel
I'm on the way

Lay down the rain transonic lover
Write your name in water
I've got my faith now baby
I'm your angel.

I found a dry point in cold black water
And moontime silence
A fake electric photograph
I wore vermilion, I wore vermilion
Where Desdemona, done out in moxa, hung out in pictures
And dreamed a fish woman cocooned in scale
She drew the water, she talked to water

I'm your angel, I'm on the way

Lay down the rain transonic lover
Write your line in water
iIve on rebirth now baby
I'm your angel

I'm your angel, I'm coming home

Lay down the rain transonic lover
Write your time with water
I've on religion now baby
I'm your angel.
