bravitzlana rubakalva

is a country i made for us


bravitzlana rubakalva, our very own country



in bravitzlana rubakalva

we will build cabins

of redwood heart and old animal eyes

floors and walls of crystal



and we will sing around the fiery treestumps

we will play the woods

and in bravitzlana rubakalva

our grey hair, it will not burn

no, no, our grey hair

it will not burn



and we will, and we will

and we will drop our lanterns in the darkness

we will dance all bright and fire

and we will drop our lanterns in the darkness

we will dance all bright and fire

and we will waltz with them red flickers

red, orange, red, one, two

one, two, three, one, two, three..



bravitzlana rubakalva, our very own country

bravitzlana rubakalva

oh, there, we have see-through bellies

where we can, where we can

where we can watch all the miracles happening

and we can watch our organs clapping

and we can, and we can

and we can watch our bread dissolving

and we can watch our cells dividing

and we can see our babies floating

and we can watch them form from nothing

sit back and just watch them form from nothing

we can, and we can, and we can, and we can, and we can, and we can

and we can, and we can, we can watch our blood a-rushing

rushing past the walls of our canyons

and we can watch each other's muscles dancing

as we lay in each other's arms



'cause in bravitzlana rubakalva

our arms ain't attached to bodies
