King

Little bird
I won't prey on you
I won't prey on you this time

I'm your faith
I'm your faithhealer
I'm your faithless companion

I'm the seed that made your perfect body
When you sleep, I am awake

There is a light under the ocean
Under the ocean, there's things shining everywhere
There is a lightkeeper under the blanket here
Under the blanket, there's things shining down here
Now I see you lay your perfect body down for me
Now we're down

Little bird, I won't prey on you
I won't prey on you this time

I'm your faith
I'm your faithhealer
I'm your faithless companion
I'm the seed that made your body perfect
When you sleep, I am awake

There is a light under the ocean
Under the ocean, there's things shining everywhere
There is a lightkeeper under the blanket here
Under the blanket, there's things shining everywhere

You light the ocean from behind
I'll show you mine
(I'll show you)

Baby, I can't fake it
I'd like to see you naked
I'd like to see you take it
I'd like to see you naked

Naked
Naked
Naked
Naked
