lyrics

Your flesh is a temple
With hormonal beasts
Your soul passes through
Watched by grim priests

Your mini's in a scrapyard
Ruined by rain water
In the shadow of a massive
Rusted flying saucer

So run away, run away, run away madly

That way they'll never catch you
The way that they caught me
Now you left your flesh temple
And honey you're free, you're free...

All the salt in the ocean,
Comes down off the mountain
Comes from clouds of emotion
That's where tears come from

Now the birds in the rafters
And the leaves on the floor
Of your temple of laughter
Here you laughter no more

So run away, run away, run away madly

That way they'll never catch you
The way that they caught me
Now you left your flesh temple
And honey you're free
