Jeans on the floor, tangled up in a ball
We're so fucked up, drunk in love, drunken love
Every night, you've been picking flowers from my low-hanging garden
Eating all the apricots and praying to our wasted gods
For mystic cups and souls to be pardoned
Muse in the sky, frighten me while I'm high
Address space and time, like a snotty child, it hides and lies
When Orpheus and Eurydice traversed the skies of hell
She gently slipped down, 'cause he couldn't keep his promise
Death is like a magnet and our bones are flimsy metal cases
Breaking apart just to keep us honest
My head is a psilocybin soup again, it's obsessed with faith
Could I find some meaning in the overpass of a lost highway?
When I saw you last, I was a sullen wreck of a man
But now I dream and sing
Waking to the magpies chirping in the rain
Before they bring me away
As we fly past lakes and trees and city life, I pause to think
Of what this all should've looked like before we came
When I saw you last, I was a sullen wreck of a man
But now I dream and sing
Drinking from the mystic cup is all that I'll ever need
To pass these days
I've made peace with a vision of the afterlife, so I don't pray
I don't talk about my place in time, I won't waste these days
When I saw you last, I was a sullen wreck of a man
But now I dream and sing
Waking to the magpies chirping in the rain
It's all I'll ever need
When I saw you last, I was a sullen wreck of a man
Drinking from the mystic cup is all that I'll ever need
To pass my days
