  • There is yet another one
    That follows me where ever I go
    And supports me

    This tooth is warmth like
    This tooth is warmth like
    This tooth is warmth like

    And these teeth are a ladder up to his mouth
    These teeth are a ladder that I walk
    That you can walk too if you want

    If you want up to the mouth
    The mouth's cradle
    Up to the mouth's cradle

    He always has a hope for me
    Always sees me when nothin' else
    And everyone have left can care
    That ghost is brighter than anyone
    And fulfills me with hope, those beams assure me

    And you can use these teeth as a ladder
    Up to the mouth's cradle, the mouth's cradle
    And you can follow these notes I'm singing
    Up to the mouth's cradle, the mouth's cradle

    The simplicity of the ghost-like beast
    The purity of what it wants and where it goes
    Always love, always loves you, always loves you
    Infrared love

    And you can use these teeth as a ladder
    Up to the mouth's cradle, the mouth's cradle
    You can use these teeth follow my voice, tooth by tooth
    Up to the mouth's cradle, the mouth's cradle

    I need a shelter to build an altar away
    From all osamas and bushes
    I need a shelter to build an altar away
    From all osamas and bushes Writer/s: Bjork Gudmundsdottir

  • EmiefDoes anyone know what instrument (I'm assuming it's an instrument) opens the song? It's an ostinato that continues throughout the introduction. Is it just a synth?
