you get big points with me if you know what song these lyrics are from. no fair doing a web search! Out of woman come the man Spend the rest of his life getting back where he can As a bow, so a dove As below, so above From the black hole Come the tadpole With the dark soul In coal she burn, she burn  As i drove into the sun Didn’t dare look where i had begun Lost among echoes of things not there Watching the sound forming shapes in the air From the white star Came the bright scar Our amoeba My little liebe schon someone is bound to get this… come on guys! post your answer!
