The Very Old Man

[Verse 1]

It's eerie and it's awesome

How connected two pods scattered on the surface can become

Lazy into one

He knows lightning kills the other

She can't stand to watch his petals fall

It's better when cascades become like us all

[Verse 2]

After noon, a golden disengagement leaves a woman with a household left to fill

Sit and be still

Send the voltage 'cross his ticker

Watch the stars, they start to flicker

And one by one, the levels fall

[Verse 3]

Another drink, my love, and make it tall enough

So I can stand on it and see

All you've done for me

A world of curves and lines electric

Remember how you strung the colored lights

From Christmas tree to me
