The sky turning gold in the west Is the color of the place below Your belly button That tells you You want And when the winter wind goes soft And the days grow warm and long We take all our clothes off And lay burning at the sun Don't worry, child The things you want will come Like comets and hurricanes and nothing Like you thought And the best way to get to the places you're trying to Touch, so you can touch All the beautiful that you want to touch Is to get rid of everything you think You own And the best way to find The fire burning through your bones Is to lay yourself bare And shine gold back at The sun

Set the Sun
The sky turning gold in the west Is the color of the place below Your belly button That tells you You want And when the winter wind goes soft And the days grow warm and long We take all our clothes off And lay burning at the sun Don't worry, child The things you want will come Like comets and hurricanes and nothing Like you thought And the best way to get to the places you're trying to Touch, so you can touch All the beautiful that you want to touch Is to get rid of everything you think You own And the best way to find The fire burning through your bones Is to lay yourself bare And shine gold back at The sun
