lyrics

everybody’s gonna think it’s them
when you go drifting out the world on a new song
pen smearing on a new page, police tape on the grass
everyone’s gonna wonder what they did wrong

so think of us and walk it back, walk it back
you don’t have to work that angle.
perforate the lines around your life
let in the hounds, the changelings and the angels

a turning gear
sets the gears around to spin too
you dance in your room and the stars turn with you

how I long to see the old things –
the old world written in old words
consumed with my body in a long fire
and rise up in the sound of a new chord

do you float?
or does your spirit sink into the earth?
I think you slip sideways into a new birth

and you don’t want a funeral
but I guess you kinda gave up on getting your own way.
so we’ll gather ‘round a fire tonight
and stop talking shit about each other for a day

if your spirit’s really floated off somewhere
maybe we’ll sight it as it passes
we’ll be holding up your wings
and you’ll be holding up our glasses

have a drink.
have a few, it doesn’t matter now

hear the nightlife of a new town
feel the bright light on your eyes now
sing a new song, sing a new song
