lyrics

I met a girl outside the holy mountain
and I saw a face that I used to know
A simple a string of words
best left unspoken
we wander through the undertow

All of the people gathered
in circles 'round the mountain
watching the spheres spin harmoniously
And when we go outside
the party's over
we've squandered all our legacy

I heard a noise outside
the mountain sinking and I
propagate the golden desert seas
And when the clock tears open
the fire falling
we revel in our latency

And they'll harvest an egg

Many more will follow
Many more will die
Many more will answer
to the demon's cry

Run for the hills
run for your life
catch me if you can
when you see the light
in your rearview mirror
makes livin' in sin just a little bit clearer

And so it was thus
simply because
there was enough
for them all to be
encased in carbon freezin'
and lord knows there ain't no reason

And thank you to us for listening
the light from the television above
what does it take to get to the art of your love?
We're watching the passing windows
we look and we're seeing nothing at all
I'm gonna love you all through the winter, spring, summer and fall

And they'll harvest an egg
