Firewall |
| I do my best to sleep through the caterwaul |
| The classicist, the posturin' avant-garde |
| I bought a gray macaw, named him Jules Verne |
| He’ll probably outlive me — he’s a bright bird |
| Keeps me company, I teach him new words |
| I saw a hologram at the theme park |
| She looked as real as me through the white fog |
| Then she melted down to her ankles |
| Turned into a million-watt candle |
| If I knew where she went, I would follow |
| Walking through the land of tomorrow |
| Martian trinkets, plastic Apollos |
| In the sunshine, try to act normal |
| My veins are full of flat cherry cola |
| Slept on the bench by her rollercoaster |
| Dreamt I was riding on a motorbike |
| Lion of Judah, painted on the side |
| I’m doing fine, I’m back in the Palisades |
| Life’s a wash, a pastoral school play |
| China shops and cold ivory towers |
| I and I make toast to the Caesars |
| Forcing down the dregs of Decembers |
| Madeline, she spins in a slow bang |
| All through the house, the strong smell of burnt sage |
| Let’s make it clean and run out the spirits |
| I know a diving bell when I hear it |
| We’re going down now under the surface |
| Light to dark can shift in an instant |
| Feeling close but keeping my distance |
| On all fours she’s just so insistent |
| Fills my mind with jump ropes and slit wrists |
| Bust through the firewall into Heaven |
| And then I’m standing in that blinding light |
| Crooked crosses falling from the sky |
| Seen, yeah, seen by I and I (6x) |
| Seen, yeah, seen, yeah, seen, yeah, seen, yeah |
| Seen, yeah, seen by I and I and— |
