time escaping & wild whistling (live) Letra - Adrianne Lenker

Yes

And all together now

Electric waves, a rush of energy

Silent river pouring backward eternally

Through the phase and touch of entropy

Old age in the beginner

To hit the stage and blush wild, laughingly

Crush the rage and rush time tappingly

Call the name so much so vapidly

Dissolving into thin air

Turning the two-fork taped-up television

Into tunnel vision

Taking the new fork tactile as revision

Working the revision

Time escaping

Time escaping

There is no reason to go down alone

Through distortion's secret telephone

Separate contact separate

Poison in the ether

Swinging still incessant pendulum

Lavender, nettle, calendula

Separate, contact, concentrate

Drawing out the fever

Time escaping

Time escaping

Only the winter wind survives

After the heat rush feeds and thrives

After the bushfire burns and dies

Frozen and bitter

Desert ground so cold and clean

Spreading out like a magazine

Reading the dirt like gossip

What do the weeds say? They say

"Everything, everything, everything falls through

Each dimension breaks in two

Like the two hands clapping

Like the two wings flapping

Everything, everything, everything for free

As it all eventually

Turns to dust and petal

Molten rock and meadow"

Time escaping

Time escaping
