Lyrics

Stella matter, light is failing, making such a fool of thee
When you'd love to be someone... this is the time, I've set aside
From selling old rope, and tellingbad jokes, and cul de sac pride
I've learnt today, while falling apart, the most eloquent way
To speak or to pray, is straight from the heart
Oh but to shine like joan of arc, you must be prepared to burn
Take two kinds of look, and one wedding day, now isn't it clear
There's nothing they'll hear, that you'd want to say
Forget the style and choose from twelve notes
In itself it's ajoy, wether it soothes or annoys
A song starts in the throat
And if you've no new clothes to wear
Then simply wash and com you hair
And little green isaac, you're gonna walk backwards through the room
Does that mean I won't see you?
It means you're gonna walk backwards through the room
And little green isaac, I hear you're still wet behind the ears
Isaacs a soft name, it sounds like a pockeful of rain
Well up that stairway he rose, and down that stairway he goes
Ggggreen isaac ggggreen isaac ggggreen isaac
