Taurus (Acoustic)
Well you said I gave you breath
So it's best you not forget it
And I'll always let you know
Right to the penny what your debt is
'Cause joy ain't just improbable,
It's impossible for prodigal
Sons who speak in tongues
Forked and pedagogical
There was Taurus, there before us
He was sinking to the sea
Steam was like a wreath
Encircling his head now
And you laid upon his shoulders
That were cut from arctic boulder
You begged him to unfold you
On to his bed now
On to his bed now
On to his bed now
I feel the fire
It's getting higher
I can't hold on for long
Not for long
Not for long
Not for long
Not for long
So take the miners, takes the signers
Take the iron from their blood
Spill the silver flood
Over dry and dusty plains now
And watch it seeping deep
In fissures far behind
Still we wither on the vine
'Cause you can't make up for rain now
There's mysteries to parse
As we meditate in cars
As the medication starts
To work its way down
It comes on as sound
That's pounding all around me
I think you've finally find me
And I can finally lay down
I can finally lay down
I can finally lay down
I feel the fire
It's getting higher
I can't hold on for long
Not for long
Not for long
Not for long
Not for long
So it's best you not forget it
And I'll always let you know
Right to the penny what your debt is
'Cause joy ain't just improbable,
It's impossible for prodigal
Sons who speak in tongues
Forked and pedagogical
There was Taurus, there before us
He was sinking to the sea
Steam was like a wreath
Encircling his head now
And you laid upon his shoulders
That were cut from arctic boulder
You begged him to unfold you
On to his bed now
On to his bed now
On to his bed now
I feel the fire
It's getting higher
I can't hold on for long
Not for long
Not for long
Not for long
Not for long
So take the miners, takes the signers
Take the iron from their blood
Spill the silver flood
Over dry and dusty plains now
And watch it seeping deep
In fissures far behind
Still we wither on the vine
'Cause you can't make up for rain now
There's mysteries to parse
As we meditate in cars
As the medication starts
To work its way down
It comes on as sound
That's pounding all around me
I think you've finally find me
And I can finally lay down
I can finally lay down
I can finally lay down
I feel the fire
It's getting higher
I can't hold on for long
Not for long
Not for long
Not for long
Not for long
