about

Recorded at Mystery Ton Studios

lyrics

Player piano, perched at the peak
Tune my strings and tickle my keys

Huff it down to the beach til our feet touch the sand
And we'll turn to gold with our backs to the sun
And our toes in the roaring drink

Sink a fire into the ground
So the light cannot be found

Fill it with sand
Push, prod it with our hands

We'll pick the dirt from under our nails
As the mountain man chemist cooks stories - through bubbling ales -
Of caves gone unentered
Untouched and unfathomed
Were we worthy? What happened?

Coffee in hand, jokes on tongues
Iodized ocean air on our breath
We cast our eyes towards the night sky
Our lungs burn with the dying embers
And the gunpowder smoke of decaying mortars
As the meteors streak down from the heavens
Burning, burning, burning through the atmosphere
Crying out, knowing they'll be but scar on the face of this earth
An the whether the weather will try to repair it is yet to be seen

The dim light of dawn drags us to our feet
And we march to the rhythm
The rhythm of the crashing of the waves
It was as if we were never there
The wind blows east, erasing our traces
And racing over the hills
And we'll fill in our holes
Putting more dirt under our finger nails
To pick at over fresh breakfast
And chalky coffee choked down with cold creamer

The half moon sits high in the sky
Waiting to reflect our fires again
