A Ransom

a world away from me.
a world away.
a word.
a ransom.
a world away from me.
a world away.
a word.
a ransom.

on the day that you were born
all the birds flew from the corn
and the sky grew grey.
on the night you left home
a crack appeared in the dome
and it rained all day

this is what you will wear to the end of the world.
this is what you will wear to the end of the world.

a world away from me.
a world away.
a word.
a ransom.
a world away from me.
a world away.
a word.
a ransom.

on the day that you were wed
your bride cried in the bed
while you danced downstairs
when the end finally came
you forgot the author's name
but you said your prayers

this is what you will wear to the end of the world.
this is what you will wear to the end of the world.
