Black-eyed angel swam with me
Moon full of stars and astral cars
And all of the figures I used to see

All my past and future
And we all went to heaven in a little rowboat
There was nothing to fear, nothing to doubt
"And so it is that when all the other sounds suddenly but smoothly fall away at the last line of the repetition of the song’s only verse and Yorke is left singing 'There was nothing to fear, and nothing to doubt' accompanied only by the wine-dark piano and the drummer, we are to understand this much if nothing else: the singer is lying to us."
