Marian Call - Temporal Dominoes lyrics

He likes the smell of the incense She likes her Indian food The sweltering subway so intense Not a gesture is left unpursued 'Cause they're not in the mood to miss miracles Culling their half-baked a**umptions Paradigms toppling untried Demolishing decades-old hunches With their eyes all unraveled and wide At the top of the tide And nowhere to hide Temporal dominoes stacked to the sky Stuttering syllables strung out to dry When he dammed up the river of reasons that fish couldn't fly She mustered the mettle to try Hostels to harbor them homeless Fishing holes dawning in dew Tapping the gla** on the compa** Getting lost in the accents of blue On the margins of true Staring skyward Training from Oxford to Cardiff At ear-popping edges of speed Heads all a-scatter and starry What we want, what we mean, what we need They can no more misread Once you know what you know Then you know how you know that you Temporal dominoes stacked to the sky Spiraling syllables strung out to dry When he dammed up the river of reasons that fish couldn't fly She mustered the mettle to try And the stars will keep spinning if nobody sees them And the moon will keep drawing the ocean apart If you're smothered in cities of fragile agreement Then pack your bags yesterday yesterday yesterday Tie down your heart and start to -- hiyiyi He likes the smell of the incense She likes her Indian food We're tourists in search of the blessings and curses of messes and motion And strangers and spectacle -- we're Catching our breaths before galaxies Galloping glimpses of art Temporal dominoes stacked to the sky Spiritual syllables strung out to dry When he dammed up the river of reasons that fish couldn't fly She mustered the mettle to try The days are just dominoes stacked to the sky And towers do topple, so brace yourself by If you're swamped in the swelter of reasons to never ask why Look to the sky Look to the sky
