Alien Days

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Trevor Napoli, Trevor Napoli & Andrew VanWyngarden] Sometimes the windows combine with the seams in a way That twitches on a peak at the place where the spirit was slain Hey, one foot leads to another, night's for sleep, blue curtains, covers Sequins in the eyes, that's a fine time to dine Divine who's circling, feeding the cards to the midwives Who love those alien days The nonstop alien days Ooh, the alien days [Verse 2] Must've skipped the ship and joined the team for a ride A couple hours to learn the controls and commandeer both my eyes Hey! Be quick dear, times are uncertain, one month crawling, next year blurring Decades in the drain, monograms on the brain Decide what's working and what's moved on to the last phase The floodgate alien days I love those alien days Mmm, the alien days [Chorus] When the peels are down it feels like traveling in style You don't need wings to hover forty-ton stones for a mile And in the summer, virgin visions, mindless humming Numbers can't decide if the day's supposed to smile [Bridge] Today, find infinite ways it could be plenty worse It's a blessing but it's also a curse [Chorus] Those days taught me everything I know How to catch a feeling and when to let it go How all the scheming, soulless creatures Can't find dreamer's honey in the hive If it's right beneath the nose And when the light is new, the sky shows trembling cartoons You don't need smoke to cover most of the world in a gloom But here comes racer number 7 Watch my fingers ripping out the lines If it looks like we could lose [Outro] If it looks like we could lose If it looks like we could lose If it looks like we could lose
