tin foil top hat – ghost of slc lyrics
[verse 1]
it was a tuesday, i think, when the world began
the smallest things held the future in their hands
the meek and the mild, we came to understand
were always the biggest part of the plan
i was scurrying back through the field and through the farmland
[verse 2]
but the lore before told in verse
that a tortoise supports the whole world, of course
is no worse a story
than the boring allegory
that tells us we’re not worthy
tells us we don’t mean a thing
[bridge 1]
singing hymns that tickle him under his chin
makes him tremble, and the earth rumbles above him
when he clears his throat with a little cough, the world tips off
is he allergic to the aftershocks
or is the cough just a tell he lost a bet with you
the day before we met
the day before we met you
the day before we met
[chorus 1]
i left your ghost in salt lake city
i left my name on the manifest of the business class section
of a plane
i left your ghost in salt lake city
but i took everything that remained
i took everything that remained
[verse 3]
it was a friday night by the time i held her hand
in the morning, back to boseman again
in the late september sun
on a beach where my auntie rests in the sand
we carved our names
we carved our names
[bridge 2]
and we’re finally the worse for wear
for the stories we don’t care to tell
we don’t care to tell
we don’t care to tell
we don’t care to tell
[pre+chorus]
and my grandmother’s ashes sit on the desk
where i waste all my time
i wonder if she’d be impressed
or like you if she’d met you
the day before we met
the day before we met you
the day before we met
[chorus 2]
i left your ghost in salt lake city
i left my name on the manifest of a plane heading
home from new mexico
i left your ghost in salt lake city
and that’s the last thing i know
that’s the last thing i know
that’s the last thing i know
[post+chorus]
clearing a place for her ashes in the snow
‘cause that’s the only way we go
that’s the only way we go
