Creatures kissing in the rain Shapeless in the dark again In the hanging garden please don't speak In the hanging garden no one sleeps Catching halos on the moon Gives my hands the shapes of angels In the heat of the night the animals scream In the heat of the night walking into a dream Fall fall fall fall Into the walls Jump jump out of time Fall fall fall fall Out of the sky Cover my face as the animals cry In the hanging garden Creatures kissing in the rain Shapeless in the dark again In the hanging garden change the past In the hanging garden wearing furs and masks Fall fall fall fall Into the walls Jump jump out of time Fall fall fall fall Out of the sky Cover my face as the animals die In the hanging garden In the hanging garden
