His embrace a fortress
It fuels me and places
A skeleton of trust
Right beneath us
Bone by bone
Stone by stone
If you ask yourself
Patiently and carefully
Who is it, who is it
Who is it
That never lets you down
Who is it
That gave you back your crown
And the ornaments are
They're goin' around
Now they're handin' it over
They're handin' it over, handin' it over
Who is it
That never lets you down
Who is it
That gave you back your crown
And the ornaments are
They're goin' around
Now they're handin' it over
Handin' it over
He demands a closeness
We all have earned a lightness
Carry my joy on the left
Carry my pain on my right
If you ask yourself now
Patiently and carefully
Who is it
Who is it
That never lets you down
Who is it
That gave you back your crown
The ornaments are
They're goin' around
And they're handin' it over
Handin' it over, handin'
Who is it
That never lets you down
Who is it
That gave you back your crown
The ornaments are
They're goin' around
And they're handin' it over
Handin' it over
It fuels me and places
A skeleton of trust
Right beneath us
Bone by bone
Stone by stone
If you ask yourself
Patiently and carefully
Who is it, who is it
Who is it
That never lets you down
Who is it
That gave you back your crown
And the ornaments are
They're goin' around
Now they're handin' it over
They're handin' it over, handin' it over
Who is it
That never lets you down
Who is it
That gave you back your crown
And the ornaments are
They're goin' around
Now they're handin' it over
Handin' it over
He demands a closeness
We all have earned a lightness
Carry my joy on the left
Carry my pain on my right
If you ask yourself now
Patiently and carefully
Who is it
Who is it
That never lets you down
Who is it
That gave you back your crown
The ornaments are
They're goin' around
And they're handin' it over
Handin' it over, handin'
Who is it
That never lets you down
Who is it
That gave you back your crown
The ornaments are
They're goin' around
And they're handin' it over
Handin' it over

The music video for this song is so odd. Very surreal (as if anything by bjork wouldn't be) Her voice on this track is just amazing. I still can't think of any person out on the popular music scene these days that has the ability to just blast through the high notes she hits and just leave her own signature on each one. That coupled with the almost gutteral sound she gets sometimes, Bjrok is something special indeed.
