From The Album "Adam Arcuragi"
Intro
Verse 1
All Of The Hidden Instruments From Before I Was Born Keep Sending
Miles Of Discreet Transmission To Shake Me Back And Forth
And Oh The Part In My Hair Like Rimbaud
Before He Ran Off And Traded His Love For A Life Of Being Cold
Pre-Chorus
Oh One Day, The Few Pictures Taken Will Spoil
And For All Those That Come Later My Face And The Past Will All Be Brown
Chorus
But Between You And Me
I'll Be Singing Through My Teeth
And Smiling As I Go
And The Words May All Be Wrong
But I'll Still Sing Every Song
My Last Breaths Will Allow
Verse 2
Whispering How Much I Love You Seems Like Far Off Coastal Lights
And All The Jealous Ones I Could Gather Wouldn't Stretch These Tall Sails Tight
But Oh, This Nursery For Lost Jealous Sons
Sings In A Low And Continuous Refrain Of Joy I'll Never Know
Pre-Chorus
Then Just Like The Shape And Tremble From Throats As Before
The Promise That's Past But The Anticipation Of Seven Thousand Mornings
Chorus
But Between You And Me
I'll Be Singing Through My Teeth
And Smiling As I Go
And The Words May All Be Wrong
But I'll Still Sing Every Song
My Last Breaths Will Allow
Verse 3
On That Last Day When I Dissipate All The Angels Will Rejoice
Pressing Their Wings Together To Sing In Heaven's Perfect Voice
And Role Imagined And Real And Unknown
The Song Like The Pulse An Electron Chain From The Center Of The Sun
Pre-Chorus
The Rim And The Role Of The Space That The Massive Ones Hold
All One Day Will Wear Out And Collapse And Eventually Explode
Chorus
But Between You And Me
I'll Be Singing Through My Teeth
And Smiling As I Go
And The Words May All Be Wrong
But I'll Still Sing Every Song
My Last Breaths Will Allow
