She came up to the surface
Her eyes had never known the light
Struck blind, arms and legs,
And heart began to flail around
The net went down
She couldn’t fight
Wind-Up Child
He dove deep into the ocean
So deep, where the monsters hide
With all their wild hunger
In the dark alone forever
How could they know better
Than to eat him up alive
Wind it, wind it, wind it, Wind-Up Child
Pull me close and flip me over
Still inside like birds in flight
We were the kite was taken
By the wind into the night
And so the story heighten
And so the story die
When we wind up the story
When we wind it up too tight
Ok, Wind-Up Child
Ok, my Wind-Up Child
We play all night
And then we die to stay alive
Wind-Up Child
Sometimes
You’ve got to die to stay alive
Sometimes
Wind, wind, wind . . .
