Forever Collapses Lyrics - Singles - Spin Doctors

Night's the garden wall 

Evening's a creeping vine 

And our fingers are woven 

Into stanzas that rhyme 

The thunder is such a fright 

And the sky is a cloth 

And the moon's bright night light 

Reflects off a moth 

In your sad arms she comforts 

Time is devout 

And forever collapses to the span of a flower. 

Forever collapses to the span of a flower

I'm your insane stallion 

Bridled by your tune 

My hooves upturn your meadow 

And my eyes reflect the moon 

Your lips are a sunset 

And your glance engulfs mine 

Your sweet respiration turns my water into wine 

In your sad arms she comforts 

Time is devout 

And forever collapses to the span of a flower 

I'm your dark king, 

And you were queen to me 

And the dead made me hades. 

Demeter made you persephone 

All my dead subjects 

They shall not see the sun 

Photos 

Oh, to live past the three-headed dog 

You're the only living one 

Ah, the only living one 

Oh, the living one 

Ya ba ba ba ba...etc. 

You live beneath the gnarly roots, 

Not for death or misdeed. 

You remain by my side for my love 

And 6 of my pomegranate seeds 

And for the other 6 moons 

I release your hand 

And your mother demeter 

Bring her queen back to the land 

In your sad arms she comforts 

Time is devout 

And forever collapses to the span of a flower 

The span of a flower 

The king of the dead 

Reaches into the roots 

Of the ceiling of his kingdom 

And plucks down for his side 

One living colored breathing blossom 

(the following was spoken on 5/24/92 at the fastlane ii. it causes the whole song to make 

Sense.) 

The king of the dead, 

Inspecting the borders of his dark kingdom 

Finds persephone, the daughter of demeter, 

The goddess of spring, and all green things 

Picking flowers. 

The lonely king of the dark land, 

Smitten with love in that moment, 

Bleeding from an arrow of cupid 

Decided in that moment to make persephone his wife. 

Stealing her he brought her down, 

Down to his kingdom of night, 

Where only the dead are. 

Demeter, the mother of persephone, 

In a fit of sadness, weeping for her daughter 

Allowed all the green things of the world to die. 

The people of the world were starving, 

And they went to zeus and demanded 

That he make demeter bring back the spring, 

For the winter had raged on for years. 

A trial was held in the kingdom of the dead. 

Hades agreed that if persephone had not taken anything from his 

Kingdom that she would freely be allowed to leave 

And join her mother on the earth above. 

One of the dead subjects of the dark king 

Spoke up saying that he had seen the daughter of spring 

Eat 6 pomegranate seeds. 

It was decided that she would live 6 months under the earth with 

Hades, the God of the dead, and for the other 6 months she would be 

Allowed to rise, and demeter would bring spring back to the land. 

And every 6 months that her daughter is beneath the earth, 

All the green things die, and winter holds reign until 

The king of the dead relinquishes the hand of the daughter of 

Spring, and allows her to return to her mother, who allows 

The green to return in spring to the surface of the earth.
