Latvian Bride

Listen

Lyrics

I can see stones float through the air
I’ve found a way but I won’t tell you where
That pretty young thing, my Latvian bride
My fresh sweet sixteen
She’s brand new inside

But outside there’s a world where the laws of physics apply
But under the Florida moon the rocks are alive

I can see lines and they race from the Earth
And they point right here
I can see lines and they shoot from my hands

Sometimes I feel like I’m wasting away
Like that old desert sun at the end of the day
I’ll think about her, my young blushing bride
I built this for her
Now I’m locked inside

But outside there’s a world where the laws of physics apply
But under the Florida moon the rocks are alive
There’s a world where the laws of physics apply
But inside these coral walls the rocks are alive

I can see lines and they race from the Earth
And they point right here
I can see lines and they shoot from my hands
