The Spark That Bled Lyrics - The Soft Bulletin - Flaming Lips

I accidentally touched my head 

And noticed that I had been bleeding 

For how long, I didn't know 

What was this, I thought, that struck me? 

What kind of weapons have they got? 

The softest bullet ever shot? 

I stood up and I said yeah! 

I stood up and I said yeah! 

I stood up and I said hey, yeah, yeah, yeah! 

From this moment on 

Blaring like a trumpet 

Coming from above us 

And somewhere below 

The confidence of knowing 

Descending to relieve us 

Struggle to believe it's so 

I stood up and I said yeah! 

I spoke up and I said yeah! 

I stood up and I said hey, yeah, yeah, yeah! 

And it seemed to cause a chain reaction 

It had momentum, it was gaining traction 

It was all the rage, it was all the fashion 

The outreached hands had resigned themselves to 

Holding on to something that they never had 

And that's too bad 

'Cause in reality there was no reaction 

I accidentally touched my head 

And noticed that I had been bleeding 

For how long, I didn't know
