Your eyes are just like black spiders
 Your hair and dress in ribbons
 Babycakes
 In despair or incoherent, nothing in between
 China white, my bride tonight
 Smiling on the tiles

 Bring that minute back
 We never get so close as when the sunward flight begins
 I share it all with you
 Powder blue, oh

 Stumble through the crowds together
 They're trying to ignore us
 That's okay
 I'm proud to be the one you hold when the shakes begin
 Sallow-skinned, starry-eyed
 Blessed in our sin

 Bring that minute back
 We never get so close to death, makes you so alive
 I share it all with you
 Powder blue, oh
 Yeah, yeah
 Hey, yeah

 Hey, yeah

 Bring that minute back
 We'll never get so close as when the sunward flight begins
 I share it all with you
 Powder blue, oh
