Robyn Hitchcock & The Venus 3 Born On The Wind lyrics

Mira's got a job tonight, keeping someone up
Handing them their lemonade in a sharkskin cup
Mira wants to leave the crowd, sail to wear things crack
Where steam and ice go hand in hand and nobody comes back

Born on the wind
Born on the wind

Mira was an accident that couldn't be reversed
"Think of how you'd feel", she said, "If you could feel this cursed
I'm going where the streets are seas and down beneath my keel
The seaweed flows through the ventilation shafts
And that's the way I feel"

Born on the wind

Born on the wind

"We live in a pornocracy", she said
"Where people fan their flames
Desire is your only judge and god has many names
One of them is Mr. Spinks and one of them is God"
Mira fishes from the rocks for the Da Vinci Code

Born on the wind
Born on the wind
Born on the wind
