Offspring Are Blank - Dirty Projectors

There was a single one, then there were ten

With time made a hundred and a hundred million

You came and spoke to me;

I saw your face

Your words were like raindrops from a storm in a vase

Each generation different

He was made to love her

She was made to love him

And their offspring loved them

And in the marriage of eagle and snake

The parents are fertile but the offspring is blank

The fire rages and all through the night

The flame is contagious, but the heat feels alright

Can’t recognize our poverty

He was made to love her

She was made to love him

And their offspring loved them

There is a darkness I feel coming down

And shadows that lengthen from the sky to the ground

And a silence that can swallow sound

He was made to love her

She was made to love him

And their offspring loved them

He was made to love her

She was made to love him

And their offspring loved both of them
