She embodies an antelope Elegant, she got plastic stripes Bites the open sky Comes in the hope Of the majesty of the night She can fight with the big cats Lions and tigers And all things rain down Tiny ants underneath her skin Sending messages to her mind Speak a language of light not sound Spark a fire in grey blue eyes Fickle fate and the same dice That they threw when the Big Bang banged big Rides the matterhorn in the park Friday magnet and car head lights Stumble into the sequin suits Any taxi that stops will do She can sew up the whole sky Lions and tigers And all things rain down Hard harder she comes Hard harder she falls Hard harder she runs Loud louder she roars Take the bullet and sing Of its delicate wings Take the comet instead To its beautiful end
