Hum - The Very Old Man lyrics

It's eerie and it's awesome How connected two pods scattered on the surface can become Lazy into one He knows lightning k**s the other She can't stand to watch his petals fall It's better when cascades become like us all After noon a golden disengagement leaves a woman With a household left to fill Sit and be still Send the voltage cross his ticker Watch the stars they start to flicker And one by one the levels fall Another drink, my love, and make it tall enough So I can stand on it and see All you've done for me A world of curves and lines electric Remember how you strung the colored lights From Christmas tree to me
