Intro:
Verse 1:
I come to you all dressed in sound,
with bluebirds tripping wires to the ground,
connected to a time machine
that will not power down.
Verse 2:
Set the crosshairs back on one,
you said we'd only die here in a sun.
The way your headstone shines,
I only wish that it was mine.
(Rhythm & Bass Riff)
(Distorted Guitar Solo)
(Distorted Lead over Verse 3)
Verse 3:
So set the crosshairs back on one,
I nail the loop that brings the second run,
past the wished on charms
and through the lens back to your living arms.
(Distorted Guitar Chords in Solo)
Chorus:
(Asynchronous Vocal Harmony - Delay)
This time machine won't power down.
And this time machine won't power down.
Verse 4:
And still the crosshairs rest on one,
and still you rest there in the morning sun.
Still I fumble through pages of constructions on the ride.
Verse 5:
I like the blown out sound we've found,
I like the way it feels here coming down.
The way your headstone shines,
I only wish that it was mine.
