Halfsleeper (Live at Roadburn 2012)

[Verse 1]

All the parts of me that lived inside

Are drowning in the sea of waking life

They don’t know their colors don’t belong on the outside

They don’t know their colors don’t belong

[Chorus]

’til they’re spread across the open road

’til they’re spread across the asphalt on the open road

’til they’re streaming in the wind like cassette tape or jellyfish

Long dark veins and records playing memories

[Verse 2]

All the things we yelled don’t mean a thing

When we’re spinning out on dark and metal wind

When we’re flying like blue Mary’s angels through the shattered glass

When we find the tall dark shadow waiting there with outstretched hands

He has given me a dress of red and you a skin of gray

We’ll be twisting here for hours ’til the light will bring us day

[Chorus]

And we’re spread across the open road

And we’re spread across the asphalt on the open road

And we’re streaming in the wind like cassette tape or jellyfish

Long dark veins and records playing memories

[Chorus]

’til they’re spread across the open road

’til they’re spread across the asphalt on the open road

’til they’re streaming in the wind like cassette tape or jellyfish

Long dark veins and records playing memories
