A Hundred On The Hill

On a window ledge see a salty rose grow
And that'll change your mind for free
There's a hundred on the hill
And none in the valley for me

It's quiet outside and Jacky sings along
As the chimes ring a sound of defeat
There's a hundred on the hill
And none in the valley for me

Now the moon breaks giant and safe and strong
And she tries to keep her vision clean
There's a hundred on the hill
And cold love turnin' to steam

But I feel so protected and she feels so protected
And together we're the perfect team
Two automatic moments
At the bottom of a glowing machine

I see a stone dove rising, she's circling and rising
And makin' all the women behave
There's a hundred on the hill
And they're takin' on the shape of a wave

And I know that the wishes hidden in her lungs
Are the same ones people speak
So she comes down slow
And I give her my eyes and teeth
