๐ Lyrics
Toward the tail-end of the age that's almost finished
Where the highway starts to crack and nobody fixes it
I was wandering through an undeveloped tract
Out near the ocean
One hundred acres, we will build to suit
See what there is to see before it's gone
Somebody's always just about
To put some kind of awful plan in motion
Eastern red cedars and the pines
And suddenly an elevated stone slab
In what must have been a clearing once
Try to recognize the signals and the signposts
With my curiosity
Will likely always get the best of me
It's like that one thing
My Dad kept trying to tell me
As the twilight
Inched its way on up his body
Get out!
Get out!
Get out!
Get out!
Well of course I climbed atop the slab and I lay down on it
I am a child
I had my face toward the sky
Lying there in the sun with both my eyes closed
Woke up in near darkness
What the hell is wrong with me?
Volunteer pines in the hundreds in the dusk
Like military tent poles
Let my eyes adjust
Try to read the markings on the slab
Weird alphabets I felt sure I hadn't seen
Just before I passed out
Stars growing brighter
Me looking up
Like a lobster in a cage down in the depths
Beneath the bottom of a glass boat
And I heard a voice
From somewhere out beyond the free fall
Like a captive soldier
He's just trying to warn his brothers
Get out!
Get out!
Get out!
Get out!
Where the highway starts to crack and nobody fixes it
I was wandering through an undeveloped tract
Out near the ocean
One hundred acres, we will build to suit
See what there is to see before it's gone
Somebody's always just about
To put some kind of awful plan in motion
Eastern red cedars and the pines
And suddenly an elevated stone slab
In what must have been a clearing once
Try to recognize the signals and the signposts
With my curiosity
Will likely always get the best of me
It's like that one thing
My Dad kept trying to tell me
As the twilight
Inched its way on up his body
Get out!
Get out!
Get out!
Get out!
Well of course I climbed atop the slab and I lay down on it
I am a child
I had my face toward the sky
Lying there in the sun with both my eyes closed
Woke up in near darkness
What the hell is wrong with me?
Volunteer pines in the hundreds in the dusk
Like military tent poles
Let my eyes adjust
Try to read the markings on the slab
Weird alphabets I felt sure I hadn't seen
Just before I passed out
Stars growing brighter
Me looking up
Like a lobster in a cage down in the depths
Beneath the bottom of a glass boat
And I heard a voice
From somewhere out beyond the free fall
Like a captive soldier
He's just trying to warn his brothers
Get out!
Get out!
Get out!
Get out!
