[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Came to light
on a very hot
day
The grass was
sweating, you
were sleeping
in
With the windo
w open and the
blanket breat
hing
Cigarette on
a golden ashtr
ay
Your golden h
air lay in the
swollen sun r
ay
The withered r
oses hanging i
n the doorway
[Chorus]
Don't wanna b
e right, don't
wanna be let
down
Don't wanna fi
ght, don't wan
na pretend
Formless secr
et
Heavy bend,
heavy bend
[Verse 2]
Second sight
and the clouds
above you
As the wilder
ness grew thic
ker and the cr
ow flеw
Tossing and t
urning, your f
orehead burnin
g
[Chorus]
Don't wanna b
e right, don't
wanna bе let
down
Don't wanna fi
ght, don't wan
na defend
Formless secr
et
Heavy bend
From the empt
y height, flie
s on the ceili
ng now
I wanna hold y
ou tight, don'
t wanna preten
d
Formless secr
et
Heavy bend,
heavy bend, h
eavy bend
