What Gives?

Lyrics

[Intro] *Harmonizing* [Verse 1: Andrew Broder] Oh how could you read Into merest hellos Some icy omen? (How?) Why would you unwind That silk suit back to The worm it spun from? (Why?) [Pre-Chorus: Andrew Broder] What you want with him? He's cold; when you touch Grinding gears ring out [Chorus: Andrew Broder] What is it? (Take it as a sign, Lord, take it as a sign) What gives? (Take it as a sign, Lord, take it as a sign) Where is my seeing eye shrink Who blows his nose in the blueprints? [Verse 2: Andrew Broder] The bottled water's all Locked in the garage; Outside, a mirage No one is safe from... [Chorus: Andrew Broder and Phil Elverum] I'm shaking (Take it as a sign, Lord) I'm shaking (Take it as a sign) All over (Soon things will be clarified) All over (Soon things will be brought to light) [Verse 3: Andrew Broder] The marketplace ashamed You incur its flaccid wrath What part of the game is that? Have our better halves rounded down? The colors all washed out Into ground down Windshield glass Flaring on curbsides? What part of the game is that? [Chorus: Andrew Broder and Phil Elverum] What is it? (Take it as a sign, Lord) What gives? (Take it as a sign, Lord) Things will be clarified, Lord
