About the Artist
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
