A Hundred On The Hill

On a window ledge see a salty rose grow

And that'll change your mind for free

There's a hundred on the hill

And none in the valley for me

It's quiet outside and Jacky sings along

As the chimes ring a sound of defeat

There's a hundred on the hill

And none in the valley for me

Now the moon breaks giant and safe and strong

And she tries to keep her vision clean

There's a hundred on the hill

And cold love turnin' to steam

But I feel so protected and she feels so protected

And together we're the perfect team

Two automatic moments

At the bottom of a glowing machine

I see a stone dove rising, she's circling and rising

And makin' all the women behave

There's a hundred on the hill

And they're takin' on the shape of a wave

And I know that the wishes hidden in her lungs

Are the same ones people speak

So she comes down slow

And I give her my eyes and teeth
