Your Sweet Hiding Place

Your sweet hiding place
Is down a path that is both dark and fragile
Can the sweet hiding place be found
Down cracks in the pavement
Down canyons torn in the earth
Displayed in the mornings
Covered in the evenings
A mute whisper will lead you to it
A soft voice will awaken you
Telling you of the hiding place, telling you of the nectar
And somewhere out on the street the ferocious dogs bark
The cats climb the walls
The snakes strike themselves
And the angels send the mice to chew through the weapons of men
In this town there are many hiding places
But only one is sweet
It is yours boy, it is yours
In this town there are many windows
But only one has a light
It is yours boy, it is yours
And somewhere out on the street the ferocious wind howls
The rain fills the streets
The hail rips at the blossom
And the angels send the lightening to throw the trees at the feet of men
Your sweet hiding place
it is down a path that is both dark and fragile
This much I know
Can it still be found?
After you've run and run and run
And hidden and fallen
Down the cracks in the pavement
Down the canyons of the earth
Your naked body splayed in the morning light
Your naked body covered by the night
For nobody to see
Just the secret walls
Of your sweet hiding place
And the angels who look down
While planning the destruction of your beauty
We can beat them... we can beat them
