Hop, skip and jump a staccato beat or two
My heart dances idly on the floor
While my derelict soul waits for the blue

Into the earth, warm world renewed
My cheeks turn red and dart for the door:
They hop, skip and jump, a staccato beat or two

Alone in the booth, my bones run askew
My joints freeze coldly, my make-up runs even more
As my derelict soul waits for the blue

Put your golden haze around me and we’ll start anew
Wipe my tears and we’ll kiss each other before
We hop, skip and jump a staccato beat or two

Hand to my chest like impermeable glue
Wrap me up, and do your best to keep score:
We’ll hop, skip and jump, a staccato beat or two
And my derelict soul will wait for the blue
