Solid Gold Songtext
von Retriever

In this body of water, I dive deep in your arms
And while I′m there, I crawl around and swim in your hair
In this body of water, I slide between your calves
Far beyond you where eels are electric blue

Like a half forgotten dream
I'm on the wrong side of the movie screen

In this suburban ocean, with your chrome-plated fins
I watch you climb towards a brighter part of sky
In this suburban ocean, we both know we can′t sink
From down to dusk, we pretend that nothing hurts

Flowers bloom across your skin
I wonder when and where I became king
My memories are meant to spin

Quicker than lightning bolts
Or a hail of stroboscopes
God is pouring solid gold
Whenever I
Jive with my eyes closed


Quicker than lightning bolts
Or a hail of stroboscopes
There's a giant fire swarm
Whenever I
Jive with my eyes closed

In the glow of a full June, under the lilacs
People speak in slow motion and on repeat
In the glow of a full June, you build up a climax
With holy shouts and hallelujahs in your mouth

I'm impressed by how much this muscle bleeds
My menstruating heart is meant to beat

Quicker than lightning bolts
Or a hail of stroboscopes
God is pouring solid gold
Whenever I
Jive with my eyes closed

Quicker than lightning bolts
Or a hail of stroboscopes
There′s a giant fire swarm
Whenever I
Jive with my eyes closed

Ah-ah
Ah-ah
Ah-ah
