David Boucher - Masterfade lyrics

[Verse 1: Andrew Bird] Well you sure didn't look like you were having any fun With that heavy-metal gaze they'll have to measure in tons And when you look up at the sky All you see are zeros And all you see are zeros and ones You took my hand and led me down to watch the kewpie doll parade We let the kittens lick our hair and drank our chalky lemonade It's not that I just didn't care I must admit I was afraid And I'm awfully glad my finger's resting gently on the masterfade [Chorus] The masterfade, I could have played along The masterfade, I could have played Mah Jongg But it just takes too long [Bridge] And I just can't remember which way the east wind blows Does it matter? If we're all matter What's the matter? Does it matter if we're all matter when we're done When the sky is full have zeros and ones? [Verse 2] I saw you standing all alone in the electrostatic rain I thought at last I'd found a situation you can't explain With GPS you know it's all just a matter have degrees Your happiness won't find you underneath that canopy have trees If the green gra** is six and the soybeans are seven The junebugs are eight the weeds and thistles are eleven And if the ones just hold their place the zeros make a smiley face When they come floating down from the heavens You took my hand and led me down to watch a papillon parade And we let the kittens lick our hair and drank our chalky lemonade You squeezed my hand and told me softly that I shouldn't be afraid Cause all the while your finger's resting gently on the masterfade [Chorus] [Outro] And who the hell can remember which way the east wind blows When you're lying on the ground staring up at that inverted compa** I mean Christ, who knows
