bright eyes - firewall (companion version) lyrics

[verse 1]
i do my best to sleep through the caterwaul
the classicists, the posturing 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

[verse 2]
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

[verse 3]
walking through the land of tomorrow
martian trinkets, plastic apollos
in the sunshinе, try to act normal
my veins are full of flat cherry cola
slеpt on a bench by the rollercoaster

[refrain]
dreamt i was riding on a motorbike
lion of judah painted on the side

[verse 4]
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
[verse 5]
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

[verse 6]
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

[refrain]
then i’m standing in that blinding light
crooked crosses falling from the sky

[outro]
seen and seen by i and i
seen and seen by i and i
seen and seen by i and i
seen and seen by i and i
seen, yeah, seen, yeah
seen, yeah, seen, yeah
seen, yeah, seen by i and i
seen, yeah, seen, yeah
seen, yeah, seen, yeah
seen, yeah, seen by i and i and i
