Turpentine (with The Seattle Symphony) [Live at Benaroya Hall, Seattle, WA - November 2010]

I watch you grow away from me in photographs
And memories like spies
And salt betrays my eyes again
I started losing sleep and gaining weight
And wishing I was was ten again
So I could be your friend again

These days we go to waste like wine
That's turned to turpentine
Oh, it's 6 a.m. and I'm all messed up
I didn't mean to waste your time
So I'll fall back in line
But I'm warning you, we're growing up

I heard you found some pretty words to say
You found your little game to play
And there's no one allowed in
Then just when we believe we could be great
Reality, it permeates
And conquers from within again

These days we go to waste like wine
That's turned to turpentine
Oh, it's 6 a.m. and I'm all messed up
I didn't mean to waste your time
So I'll fall back in line
But I'm warning you, we're growing up

I know, I know we're okay

Okay, here's what we're gonna do
We're gonna divide this room up into three sections
You guys over here, all the way to the top
All the way to the back, you are Timmy's section
And you're gonna need to be loud and proud
Because you're the foundation of this whole thing

You guys in the center, you are mine
And Lord help you sweet little angels over here
Because you represent the unique, angelic, delicate
Dare I say, occasionally effeminate vocal stylings of Mr. Philip Hanseroth
Are you with me? Alright let's do this Seattle
Teach 'em, Timmy

It's perfect! We're gonna add the second, keep it going, it's perfect guys

Let's hear you both together

Yeah!

It is so good, it's perfect! We're ready for the third, you ready Philly?

Lord, I know, I know, I know, I know it
Yeah!
Listen to yourselves! You sound amazing!
C'mon
Oh I know, I know, I know it, okay
Hey!
I know it, okay!

These days we go to waste like wine
That's turned to turpentine
It's 6 a.m. and I'm all messed up
I didn't mean to waste your time
So I'll fall back in line
But I'm warning you, we're growing up

Thank you!
