Whips of Holly Songtext
von Black Lips

Hollywood slowly grows
No one knows just where you are
Chances have already flown
No one knows just what they were

Suddenly something breaks
Reappears beneath the water
Scraps of light are falling down
Light as feathers of a loon

I′ve been trained by whips of holly
To obey if they should call for me

Dive into the scrying pool
No one knows unless they look
Even though it's hard to see
Deep inside the garden where they grow

Suddenly the surface breaks
Your eyes pass through and pierce still water
Looking up, stare back down
You′re beneath the surface of the pool


I've been trained by whips of holly
To obey if they should call for me

Hollywood grows beneath
Raise the coppice of the trees
Suddenly the season breaks
And the rule is changing hands

Violently the surface breaks
Something falls provides obstruction
All we know holding hands
Beneath the surface of the stream

I've been trained by whips of holly
To obey if they should call for me

For I′ve been saved by whips of holly
Having placed each scar upon my heart

Upon my heart
Upon my heart
Upon my heart
Upon my heart
Upon my mind
Upon my mind
Upon my heart
