Hail mary
Heaven willing
Let a blanket
Cover everything
Hold us high
Hold aside
Mother don't let us die before the springtime
I don't need any love
'cause I've got the elements
Electric light
Electric license
I can add it all up
One plus one
Hail mary
Heaven willing
Let a blanket
Cover everything
Hold us high
Hold aside
Mother don't let us die before the springtime
I don't need any love
'cause I've got the elements
Electric light
Electric license
I can add it all up
One plus one
And your face fits
In the frame so
Like your footprints
In the fake snow
Sky sight now
A strobe light
Black to white then
Black to white and
Black to white then
Back to gray again
Hail mary
Heaven willing
Let a blanket
Cover everything
Hold us high
Hold aside
Mother don't let us die before the springtime
I don't need any love
'cause I've got the elements
Electric light
Electric license
I can add it all up
One plus one
And your face fits
In the frame so
Like your footprints
In the fake snow
Sky sight now
A strobe light
Black to white then
Black to white and
Black to white then
Back to gray again
And if you do not mind
I will not stay
If you can climb
I will find a way
If you do not mind
I will not stay
If you can climb
I will find a way
Hail mary
Heaven willing
Let a blanket
Cover everything
I can add it all up
One plus one
