Downtown the kids were barely breathing
Their liquid hearts were never beating
They only really knew you when they saw you leaving
Your last flickering wings in the morning papers
The future ghosts of power shoulders
With feathered gaze and painted faces
Freeze in frame
The disenfranchised muses
Their liquid legs were never running
The flood will soon be coming
The flood will soon be coming
Did you think it was safe to dip your legs in the frozen lake
So what controls your thoughts
And what cuts you open
In your mind, you were frozen
In our minds, you were golden
So golden
So golden
Downtown the kids fixed caps for swimming
Adorned with gloves and crystal gazes
Their love estranged
Only stains their unions
Their liquid eyes never saw it coming
The flood will soon be coming
The flood will soon be coming
Did you think it was safe to dip your legs in the frozen lake
So what controls your thoughts
And what cuts you open
In your mind, you were frozen
In our minds, you were golden
So golden
So golden
