lyrics

Minerva look over and let down your hair
Athena tell us the name of the bear
Where did you come from before you were here
and made this state of stars

With your hills of gold and your trees so red
Where all of the good people fled
To leave behind everything that was dead

And I’ve just come and I don’t know where I’ve been
But I look and I taste and I smell of the sin
And I’m trying to get back to the place where the thing did begin

Do you remember the day we met
And how you told me to play the coquette
I shut my mouth i didn’t say a thing about the big brass ring
that would change everything, everything….

I wouldn’t go back to anything close to that
No I wouldn’t go back to anything possibly close to that
No, I just let it go, yeah I let it go
Yeah you should too, you should just let it go
It feels so good
Let it go go go go go
I'm gonna let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go

Minerva look over and let down your hair
Athena tell us the name of the bear
Where did you come from before you were here
and made this state of stars
