Bright Eyes - Triple Spiral Lyrics
I loved a triple spiral My maiden mother crowI folded my devotion to an origami roseSo out her ten feet window, she said to look belowCould I see the town was burning? Could I see the broken prison?Could I see that it was time for me to go?They looted the museum, took all that they could holdA motorcade of flatbed trucksMade off with with quite a haulAnd that's when I heard someone shout"In with new, out with the old!"A dusty box of lettersA rusty suit of armorA casket made of 14 carat goldThat's the problemYour sense of timeShe changes like an hourglass There laying on the sideI loved you triple spiralFather, son, and ghostBut you left me in my darkest hourWhen I needed you, when I needed youNow that the dream is over, I want it to be knownI never saw you comingFrom my little human prismHow sad it is to know I'm in controlThat's the problem, an empty skyI fill it up with everything that's missing from my lifeWhere'd you come from, you faded sign?Spinning through the centuriesExpanding all the timeThree worlds at once that blend togetherThree times I cried for usBut I felt better then ...I loved you triple spiralMy maiden mother crowYou found me in this fallowed stateMy mind was off and stowI heard your strange commotion And wished I could go homeTo live a little longerA full indian summerLong enough to carve you into stone
