lyrics

I'm trying to understand how a man can be so steady.
He builds a house, he builds a city,
line by line, cold and clean,
meanwhile I'm crouching in a cavern full of wild winds
oooooooh, crouching in a cavern, thinking wild things,
like, "If I burned it down tomorrow, would he build it up again?"
and I'm trying to understand how a man can be so steady.

Break me down, I want to be found out
crack me open and let all three birds fly out:
discontent, and hunger, and the holy one.
I am these things, why should I hide them?
Christians slay dragons, magicians ride them.

I can't stop dreaming about the holy fire.
I don't know why but my god put me hear to howl,
like the lone wolf, like the night owl,
to howl, howl.

I'm crouching in a cavern full of wild winds
oooooooh, crouching in a cavern, thinking wild things,
like, "If I burned it down tomorrow, would he build it up again?"
and I'm trying to understand how a man can be so steady.
