Hum - The Very Old ManLyrics

Electrified and lit up by an outline of herself Smiling now as only she can be. She said I made some new connections to astound them all In ways we've never dreamed about Her lovely hand is glowing from the light inside itself From soaking in the esters stacked for miles on a single shelf Holding my eyes still so she can see If all the superundercover custom hybrids got to me It's too much You're too late I want to see it all again She says eep this benzene ring around your finger And think of me when everything you wanted starts to end And I saw living clusters form in pools beneath her feet Invertebrates that only she can see And I said what on earth are all these ampuls for She says exactly, we're not gunna wait around here anymore Systems back down slow, watch the dust cloud resend And I will keep you. I will keep you till the end Set your head down low, watch my ears ring It's eerie and it's awesome, How connected two pods scattered on the surface can become, Lazy into one. He knows lightning kills the other, She can't stand to watch his petals fall, It's better when cascades become like us all. Afternoon a golden disengagement leaves a woman, With a household left to fill. Sit, and be still, send the voltage cross his ticker, Watch the stars they start to flicker, and one by one levels Fall. Another drink my love, and make it tall enough So I can stand on it and see, all you've done for me. A world of curves and lines electric, Remember how you strung the colored lights, from Christmas tree To me?
