Cover art for Jocasta lyrics by Noah and the Whale

Correct lyrics: When the baby s born Let s turn it to the snow So that ice will surely grow Over weak and brittle bones Let s leave it to the wolves So their teeth turn it to food, It s flesh keeps them alive As death helps life survive The world can be kind in its own way Your future s a machine With the mechanics of a dream, It s your mind that spins the wheel And your heart that makes you feel All the guilt for all your sins Oh and as the wheel spins, It plays as they believed And for your husband you have grieved The world still deceives as it turns, Oh and in my lucid moments I can see That the heart may be the weakest part of me Oh the moon controls the movements of the tide But it has no weight on the movements of my mind But if you turn your hands to flames Oh the light will burn the same Whether you just pass it through Or if it s what you meant to do And your sense of culpability Is from the Gods that you perceive Their constant love that you believe will show you grace As you turn into a ghost Oh but now the love you found Has laid you in the muddy ground Oh but death will let you down Because your curse will still go on the same
