Lyrics

Dare Not Dive

You were right about The Departed

But you're wrong about The History Boys

I was wrong

About the painting of a ski slope

It reminds me of your insolent poise

A citadel that we imagined

Can't climb inside

It floats like airport information

I want to drown but I dare not dive

Up at midnight

Watching Arthur Russell

With his cello buzzing by his side

Bas Jan Ader

Hanging from the branches as he falls and he cries

A citadel that we imagined

Can't climb inside

It floats like airport information

I want to drown but I dare not dive

You were right

You were right
