[Verse 1]
'Twas in the spring
One summer's day
The fallow field
Atomic test
Sheer lightning, white

[Chorus]
I swallow the moon
I swallow the light
I swallow the moon
Light, light, light

[Verse 2]
I dropped onto
A burning knee
My image blasted away

[Chorus]
I swallow the moon
I swallow the light
I swallow the moon
Light, light, light

[Verse 3]
Pointed toward the sea
The wraith of me
And I push it back out
In wayward elation
Of black and sightless white
To the torrent curve of Earth
[Chorus]
I swallow the moon
I swallow the light
I swallow the moon
Light, light, light
