lyrics

two valkyries
flying across the sky
flaming red hair
constellating way up high
one helmet with black wings
the other one white
sprinkling gold dust
all over me
until i start to rise
and i keep on rising and rising
until i start to feel afraid
so i exclaim,
"it's too high too high too high"
so then i start to descend
going down down down
until i crash through the surface of the sea
going down down down
and then i start to feel afraid again
so i exclaim
"it's too deep too deep too deep"
but then i land at the bottom of the sea
and i find i can breathe
and i look around me
and what do i see?
there's a little old house
with a little locked door
so i climb in through the window
of this little house on the ocean floor
and there's a little old woman
she's been waiting for me
she says to me,
"find the twins. go on out there and find the twins"
so what i wanna know
who's gonna be my new lover?
who's gonna be my new best friend?
who's gonna be my mirror?

my my my my gemini
my my my my gemini
my my my my gemini

now i'm back in the harbour
i'm back with the lost boys
and they want me to be
wild wild wild
like i used to be
you know i haven't always been a woman
i've sometimes been a man
i haven't always waited tables
or made coffee for strangers
i've been an animal
i've been an animal
i've a magician
a swimming pool
who's gonna be my new lover?
who's gonna be my new best friend?
who's gonna be my mirror?

my my my my gemini
my my my my gemini
my my my my gemini
my my my my gemini
my my my my gemini
my my my my gemini
