Califone Eyelash Lyrics

I was in town for a death in the family
You never left
You started a story that you could not finish
And I waited
And I waited

While we speak our ghosts are speaking to each other
Between the walls a satellite
It's only funny when you're not afraid of everything

Cadillac hope, capitalism, killed by lower gods
An eyelash, a present joy
You can't give me what's already mine
We are the hangman and the undertaker
We are thе embracers and we arе the embrace
We are a silent movie sweetheart with a swollen tongue And I'm waiting
And I'm waiting

While we speak our self made matter
A wine stain, mask, a reptile, a cigarette
Attention slides away
It's only funny when you're not afraid of everything

Cadillac hope, capitalism, killed by an eyelash
A present joy
A present joy

You can't give me what's already mine
You can't give me what's already mine

I was in town for a death in the family
You never left
You started a story that you could not finish
And I waited and I waited
