Vibrations

Connect the leads and wait for it
I feel alright
And suddenly we color in
The black and white
Now if we lose our lines
Maybe we’ll make ‘em up
And if we miss the signs
I think we’ll be fine
Sympathetic energy
Vibrations in my skull, yeah
Sympathetic energy
With you, I feel like I’ll never die
Won’t you come and waste some time?
Up in the sky, a star burns up
And flickers out
But here on Earth, the switch is on
We’ll never doubt
That if we lose our minds
Yeah, we can make it up
And if we’re out of time
I think we’ll be fine

Satellites
03:23
|

Shouting from the stage
After a gilded age
Pillars of salt
Hold their wakes
There was no better way, ‘cause
Nothing gold can stay, we
Wanted it all
When an empire falls
It takes some time
For flowers to grow
On the highways
When an empire falls
It takes some time
To forget
What we fought about
In your night sky
Satellites keep moving
We dug in sacred ground
Eclipsed every sound
We were wildfire
There was no better way, ‘cause
Nothing gold can stay, we
Wanted it all

Shout in a whisper and dance standing still
If you’re feeling lovesick
If you’re feeling lovesick
Do no harm to all the things you kill
If you’re feeling lonesome
If you’re feeling lonesome
I don’t want to want to want you in this way
If I could leave it on the stage
I’d never come home
I don’t want to want to want you in this way
Every time I say goodbye
Know that it’s a lie
Tell me a lie and I’ll do the same
If you’re feeling lovesick
If you’re feeling lovesick

Minotaur
03:43
|
|||
Wasting light in the hours before the sun will set
Taking time to believe that we’re all that’s left
Is the space between too vast to not get lost
In the wild that stretches on?
In the wild that stretches on?
Desire is a minotaur trapped in a maze
Who’s gone blind staying in the darkness that we made
Come inside, bring him light, stoke a fire for a little while
We’ve gone blind wandering in the darkness that we made
When the bough where we perch starts to splinter
Will we keep moving on or will we disintegrate
Is the space between too vast to not get lost
In the wild that stretches on?
In the wild that stretches on?
Desire is a minotaur trapped in a maze
Who’s gone blind staying in the darkness that we made
Come inside, bring him light, stoke a fire for a little while
We’ve gone blind wandering in the darkness that we made

Touch Me, Electricity
03:49
|
|||
I’m a cargo cult, I’ll always be waiting for the return
Of an aeroplane to take us all away
I’m the broken heart of a teenage crush holding onto a hope
Yeah, I’m a rotten fruit just waiting to fall away
All I want
All I need
A lightning strike
Touch me, electricity
Touch me, electricity
I’m a dowsing rod can you feel me bend when you are around?
I’m a cleansing wave building up energy
I’m the silver tongue of a singing man looking up to the stars
Looking for the comet that will take us, take us away
I want to feel it
Want to feel it like I did before
I want to let it
Want to let it touch my, touch my, touch me
Touch me, electricity
Touch me, electricity

Neon
03:19
|

Echoes of our body rhythms
Syncopated, slipping out of phase
I saw you walking down Milwaukee
Couldn’t call out, my voice had escaped me
Tune in and drop out
And open up
Feeling a beat
Start to read the air
Tune in and drop out
And open up
To the sounds
To the sounds
I can’t sit still
A third eye in neon light
Hums softly out of sight
Nobody looking up
A third eye in neon light
Reflecting from out of sight
Your face glows gently
Can you feel the thread that binds us?
Can you start a fire from the ash?
Do you see the green between the cracks?
I don’t know if I truly believe it
A third eye in neon light
Hums softly out of sight
Nobody looking up
A third eye in neon light
Reflecting from out of sight
Your face glows gently

Pear Trees
03:23
|

Pear trees bloom
Outside your apartment
Smell of sweat
Comes to your room
Through your window
It’s all I can know
It happens all the
Time stops
Bodies in a tangle
Unearthed roots
Dappled light of
Sun setting through trees
Head between your knees
Our canopy burst into its bloom
Pink and white
How can it be I’d forgotten you
While out of sight
Fading from the edge, ah
Melting into blurs, ah
It’s been years now
Since I last saw you
Around
But every springtime
The scent of pear trees
Brings me to my knees
It happens every
Time
Our canopy burst into its bloom
Pink and white
How can it be I’d forgotten you
While out of sight
Fading from the edge, ah
Melting into blurs, ah

Get On Up
03:02
|
|||
Maybe we could reach all our memories, energies
And build our own mythology
Because of all the fantasy that he sees on T.V.
Saturn eats his young
I don’t know what I’m offering
But I won’t wait to begin
Hope is help’s antonym
Hope is balm to action
Get on up
Maybe we could build our own effigy, tenderly
Sing our own elegy
Bring our fire to everyone that we know, even as
An eagle eats our heart
I don’t know what I’m offering
But I won’t wait to begin
Hope is help’s antonym
Hope is balm to action
Get on up

Lake
02:53
|
|||
On a lake
In the suburbs
Floating on my back
When the sun begins to set
Sun begins to set
On me
When I get
sick of swimming
I’ll head back to land
But it seems so far away
Seems so far away
From where I am
Pulling up my reflection
Broken on the waves
Moonlit projection
Satellite
UFO
Sink my head
In the water
And open up my eyes
Let it wash all over me
Wash all over me
I can touch the sky
Pulling up my reflection
Broken on the waves
Moonlit projection
Satellite
UFO
