lyrics

it was a hazy creamy year before i came here
photographs of florida with too much glare
we ran out of things to say and songs to play, we were on our way
waited around on those 95's up there

it was so quiet i couldn't sleep at all
puppy heart about to burst
vitamins were working in reverse

so many stars I thought I was gonna fall
off the earth and into space
I bit my lip, my muscles ached

a wise woman said
say goodbye to time and pride, let your cell phone die,
get sick and stay in bed

slow down my man, breathe oxygen
butterflies sililoquize on your window ledge

blood drugs amps guns cigarette i don't care
this is where the earth turns fair
lungs gums suntan crazy man devil's hair

If you're gonna speak you better make it clean
make it worth the broken silence, make it what you mean
make a fist around the crayon, choose a point on the horizon
set to the page, forget how to spell your name

blood drugs amps guns cigarette i don't care
this is where the earth turns hazy creamy years a shade more clear

mashed up mantis on the roadside
frightened bird under the roof
a cripple in summer dress
two black labradors beneath the moon
