Faraday Cage 03:17
lyrics
buy track
I love how this shift makes time stop The last couple people you see float away somewhere where most of the other people you know come from and return to You might be the only person in the universe who ever knew this existed Suspended in isolation in time and space There is a yellow ghost of pavement and rungs of an impossible ladder that no one has touched in twenty, thirty or more years Nothing moves If you want to hear something you can put on the radio Birds won't return until about an hour before dawn, when everything starts getting ready to go back to normal By seven o'clock it will be like it never happened Be still for the stopping of time Long after the daylight has died Hammerheads! Hammerheads! Hammerheads hold your every movement Hard safe from the darkness outside Nothing safe Nothing yet This was never your safety net Don’t you flinch Don’t you fret In your Faraday cage you set You sit there looking up at the sea windows You check on the greenish ship You check that the room outside the offices is still there You have to check that all the rooms are still there You begin to have a better understanding of boxes, and of objects left eternally in storage Presumably there was an initial feeling that a day of need could come Old printers could get fixed Memories of an austere third floor apartment on Block Island and an early morning walk you took with your brother to the grocery store You have all the time in the world to file them in their envelopes In the end they will go into boxes and be left eternally in storage Be still for the stopping of time Long after the daylight has died Hammerheads! Hammerheads! Hammerheads hold your every movement Hard safe from the darkness outside Nothing safe Nothing yet This was never your safety net Don’t you flinch Don’t you fret In your Faraday cage you set

Rock walker Rock walker Rock walker Rock walker So you want to be a rock walker Rock walker Why would you want to be a rock walker Well Are you ready for heat in your knees Dynamite under your feet Counting all the tileys on the slate roof of a Tudor estate Eating all the blackberries and beach plum buds your stomach can take Thinking 'bout the rocks at Newport, why their giant heads are so great Feel awash with love at limestone, Bay of Fundy rocks and red clay Rock walker Rock walker Rock walker Rock walker So you want to be a rock walker Rock walker Why would you want to be a rock walker Well Clomp stomp clomp stomp stomp stomp Drew data doodle data drew data doodle data Clomp stomp clomp stomp stomp stomp Drew data doodle data drew data doodle data

Dark-winged grebe Just encountered a dark-winged grebe Dark-winged grebe Coasting seaward at breakneck speed Dark-winged grebe Outlook exceedingly bleak Dark-winged grebe Coasting, coasting, backwards ghosting, these five words will drive me home Coasting, coasting, backwards ghosting, these five words will drive me home Coasting, coasting, backwards ghosting, these five words will drive me home Most engrossed in my riposte while wild and desperate seas I roam Ha ha, yes Ha ha, yes Ha ha, yes Ha ha, yes Sell my books Tell my mother to sell my books Sell my fish Won't be needing them once this hits Dark-winged grebe No likelihood of reprieve Dire indeed Coasting, coasting, backwards ghosting, these five words will drive me home Coasting, coasting, backwards ghosting, these five words will drive me home Coasting, coasting, backwards ghosting, these five words will drive me home Most engrossed in my riposte while wild and desperate seas I roam Ha ha, yes Ha ha, yes Ha ha, yes Ha ha, yes

Walk from down that icy road View for real above Around you so close a veil of dark To fill my home View from corner straight to you Whisper feel it cool Around you so close a veil of fog Fills my holes It fills my hearth It fills my home It fills my soul complete the Energy My heart It fills my lungs It fills my soul completely Energy I'm sorry Had I had known that you was flying there Had love spoken in your eyes You knew of course Had a chance I didn't notice you was flying there H'eah Walk from down that icy road View for real above Around you so close a veil of dark To fill my home Reach your hand out in the walk On a hunch I'll steal of cloak Around you so close a veil of fog Cling to you It fills my hearth It fills my home It fills my soul complete the Energy My heart It fills my lungs It fills my soul completely Energy I'm sorry Had I had known that you was flying there Had love spoken in your eyes You knew of course Had a chance I didn't notice you was flying there H'eah Had I had known that you was flying there The sun melted in your eyes You knew of course Had this dance I didn't notice you was flying there (that's it) H'eah

Flame Monster 04:58

They were holding back my chance To get my flame monster out in the dawn They would think there's something wrong And call the fire depart' They were holding back my chance To get my flame monster out in the dawn They'll be calling 9-1-1 As if the danger is ours You've got some time for the wait For the wait For the wait For the wait You've held the wheel, you can relate To his debate His crusade Send me my swan with a beat You know I can't sleep in the heat
