Walking alone tonight cause only got room for two
Me and my burdened black heart, it’s all we know how to do

Yet I look for a bigger bang than the kind I continually see
Sick of all this inertia, I want a human being

Lover, can you help me?
I’m a child lost in the woods
A black heart’s polluting me
And I think…

You’re a mountain that I’d like to climb
Not to conquer, but to share in the view

Pulled by a false inertia, pushed out by circumstance.
Pistol firing at my feet that’s coercing me to dance.

Yet I look for a bigger bang than the kind I’m sorry to know
Here I am, first foot of the climb, watch me go

Lover, can you help me?
I’m a child lost in the woods
A lit path eludes me
And I think…

You’re a mountain that I’d like to climb
Not to conquer, but to share in the view
You’re a bonfire and I’m gathered around you.
Set this old black heart inertia aflame
Send it away… set it aflame…
