"Show me your stripes", said the zebra to
The wicked spider in the morning dew
"I will provide for you shelter and wine
If you can prove that you are of my kind"
Oh Maria, I break my wooden bones for you
You took my crystal heart and shook it through and through
Oh Maria, you broke my brittle bones in two
You shook your silver hair and sent me to the moon
And then the spider turned onto its back
Displayed the colors in 3D tracks
Said, "When we go, we go"
And so they crossed the windy field
Spider provided by the zebra's heels
And every bird from above did cry
"You will be bitten boy, you'll surely die"
Oh Maria, I break my wooden bones for you
You took my crystal heart and shook it through and through
Oh Maria, you broke my brittle bones in two
You shook your silver hair and sent me to the moon
We may be different, two sides of the same fence
You bring your elegance and me my dumb strength
You were so kind to me beneath the willow trees
You took my hand in yours and I got down on my knees
They said I couldn't see it clear
They said that it would disappear
But when they came and [Incomprehensible]
And it fell apart in their fears
I see what I cannot hear
And I fear what I cannot fear
And I need it to be true
But I saw your face come near
Oh Maria, I break my wooden bones for you
You took my crystal heart and shook it through and through
Oh Maria, you broke my brittle bones in two
You shook your silver hair and sent me to the moon
Oh Maria, I'd do it all again for you
Oh Maria, I'd do it all again for you
Oh Maria, I'd do it all again for you
Oh Maria, I'd do it all again for you
