(The Ripe & Ruin)

Interlude 1 (插曲 1) - Alt-J (∆)

She only ever walks

To count her steps

Eighteen strides

And she stops to abide

By the law that she herself has set

That eighteen steps

Is one complete set

And before the next

Nine right and nine left

She looks up at the blue

And whispers to all of the above

Don't let me drown

Don't breath alone

No kicks no pangs

No broken bones

Never let me sink

Always feel at home

No sticks

No shanks

And no stones

Never leave it too late

Always enjoy the taste

Of the great gray world of hearts

As all dogs everywhere bark

It's worth knowing

Like all good fruit

The balance of life

Is in the ripe and ruin
