lyrics

We laugh, the sun
turns to greet its ghost
We laugh, the moon
turns itself to snow

The mother builds her children out of snow
she loves them with a love only a mother can know
Oh, how she loves them
One day, though, she turns her back
to greet the mailman
they laugh, the sun
turns to greet its ghost

The children melt into the gutters
and enter the tunnels below
the suburban lights, the brown grass
wave goodbye, but the children don't mind
they like the new things they find--
they munch on little plankton snacks
and don't bother waiting for their old forms back

No, don't even bother waiting

The mother sees the shadows of her children
in the mailman's eyes. Together,
they lie in the cold, spreading
their appendages, rendering
faint traces of angels
slightly visible
for a little while
