Oh, I see you in your cobra nest
All dressed up in your Sunday best
In the opal morning light
See your gun there, shining bright
Now the storm is on its way
Coming here to break the day
Take my halo, yoke and crown
'Cause I've been to the darkest place I know
You, my dear, shouldn't fear what lies below
Picking out better bones than your own
Oh, I see you creep in the dark
Sticking pins into the rain
I've been to the only place I know
So you, my dear, shouldn't fear what lies below
So how can love bear to see you, bear to see you go alone?
I can't bloom, this speeding heart's got the same bone as your own,
So you, my dear, shouldn't fear what lies below
And I've been to the darkest place you know
