Bryce Dessner - Jupiter lyrics

My father, working nights First shift, eternal light The curse of Adam labor Outside, in the parking lot The current of wind and the light went hot He held his head in terror By Jove and by surprise The current of lightning filled with light It burned his hands with symbols White noise as Lucifer The sacred fire, the sacred fern Conceived with holy water His radiance in the dark Mysterious shape or beauty mark As if it were Minerva Breastplate of Jupiter The hovering deep, he spoke the word The light, the virgin creature All dreams and all disease are fantasy features, ill-conceived Illusions worth remembering My father, late at night Forbidding d**h, he kissed the light As Jupiter transfigured I need you to change me, prevent you, persuade me By jove I need you, sensation, my virtue, persuasion By jove Father of light Father of d**h Give us your wisdom, give us your breath Summoner says that Jupiter is the loneliest planet Red right eye Put in its place Under your foot, carpenter's cape Sermon of d**h says Jupiter is the loneliest planet Floundering star Failed that you are Fevering pitch Figure of speech Sermon of d**h says Jupiter is the loneliest planet Say it with faith Say it with force Say it to my face Put me in place Sermon of d**h says Jupiter is the only conquest Hurricane heart, hurricane haste Wandering star, put in its place Sermon of d**h says Jupiter is the only contest Father of light Father of d**h Give us your wisdom, give us your breath Sermon of d**h says Jupiter is the loneliest planet
