[Intro]
N.C.
Cool
One, two, one, two, three, four
[Verse 1]
Electric wav
es a rush of e
nergy
Silent river p
ouring backwar
d eternally
Through the ph
ase and touch
of entropy
Old age in the
beginner
To hit the s
tage and blush
wild, laughin
gly
Crush the rage
and rush time
tappingly
Call the name
so much so vap
idly
Dissolving int
o thin air
Turning the
two-fork taped
up television
Into tunnel vi
sion
Taking the new
fork tactile
as revision
Working the re
vision
[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
There is no r
eason to go do
wn alonе
Through distor
tion’s secret
telеphone
Separate conta
ct separate
Poison in the
ether
Swinging still
incessant pen
dulum
Lavender, nett
le, calendula
Separate, cont
act, concentra
te
Drawing out th
e fever
[Chorus]
Time escapin

[Break]
Ether...
Time
It's music... It's music Oso
[Verse 3]
Only the wint
er wind surviv
es
After the heat
rush feeds an
d thrives
After the bush
fire burns and
dies
Frozen and bit
ter
Desert ground
so cold and c
lean
Spreading out
like a magazin
e
Reading the di
rt like gossip
What do the we
eds say? They
say
“Everything, e
verything, eve
rything falls
through
Each dimension
breaks in two
Like the two h
ands clapping
Like the two w
ings flapping
Everything, ev
erything, ever
ything for fre
e
As it all even
tually
Turns to dust
and petal
Molten rock
and meadow”
[Chorus]
