Humpty Dumpty - On a slipping ground

from Chucky Chico and spits of Satan by Humpty Dumpty and Silver Julio

lyrics

There on the glass
Some life before
A rain of stars
The crystal door
Behind the hills
I called you up
And closed my eyes
For the first time
And then my heart began to run
"Hello, I'm lost
on a slipping ground"
On a slipping ground

Hope that you realize
I was afraid
All feathers fell from my hand

Then on the glass
My feet broke ice
"All things must pass"
I told the mice
The sharpened waves
Rose to the sky
A thunder burst
While the earth danced
And then my heart began to shake
"Hello, I'm struck
on your slipping ground"
On your slipping ground

I'm knocking you so hard
All your fears will run
All the tears will hide
In a shakedown
And then I hope you'll let me in

There on the glass
It happened once
Upon a time
I lost you glance
My heart hourglass
No words from you
I close my eyes for the first time
And then my heart began being stunned
As if you're here
On my slipping ground
On my slipping ground

Hope that you realize
I was afraid
I know that you were too

Then on the glass
The copper sun
Disrupted our
Flow of looks
But sun, you said
Is just a star
And if he won't
Just be my friend
I'll teach the birds
To sing aloud
And be at home
On a slipping ground
On a slipping ground

I'm loving you so hard
That I should exhaust
All the energy of the universe
I hope you have stocks
Of firewood

I hope that you know
I hope that you love
