Lyrics My Pillow Is The Threshold - Silver Jews

My Pillow Is The Threshold

I take decaf coffee
Two sugars and one cream
I don’t see the use in staying up just to watch TV
I unplug all the neon
Turn the ringer off the phone
Throw my thoughts like tomahawks
Into this world which I disown
Because the pillow that I dream on
Is the threshold of a kingdom
Is the threshold of a world where I’m with you
It’s a dark and snowy secret
And it has to do with heaven
And what looks like sleep is really hot pursuit
I hold your picture in my mind
It makes me warm when I am cold
Gets me up and it makes me walk
It makes me question what I’m told
Somewhere in a foggy atlas
Lookout Mountain, Lookout Sea
First life takes time, then time takes life
Now the next move’s up to me
Because the pillow that I dream on
Leads to some fantastic glory
It’s the threshold of a world I can’t ignore
Like time unspoiled from heaven
Did you find me sleeping in your doorway?
Now I’m here for good
I won’t leave you anymore
