Lyrics

It's eerie and it's awesome
How connected two pods scattered on the surface can become
Lazy into one
He knows lightning kills the other
She can't stand to watch his petals fall
It's better when cascades become like us all

Afternoon a golden disengagement leaves a woman
With a household left to fill
Sit, and be still, send the voltage cross his ticker
Watch the stars they start to flicker, and one by one levels fall

Another drink my love, and make it tall enough
So I can stand on it and see all you've done for me
A world of curves and lines electric
Remember how you strung the colored lights from christmas tree to me?
