The Decemberists - The Gymnast, High Above The Ground Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • The gymnast, high above the ground,
  • Limbers up and falls timbers down.
  • Ankles splayed and all tied.
  • The gymnast long has arrived.
  • Lazy, your long sister lays
  • Waiting out this long light brigade.
  • Prayed for snow a long time.
  • And lazy, it long has arrived.
  • Through the tarlatan holes
  • You've been slipping, been slipping away
  • And the weather will hold
  • It's been ever so, ever so gray.
  • But here as we're coming down
  • And we're sounding out:
  • it's a terrible, terrible tide
  • As it lights upon your eye
  • But there on the motorway,
  • reeks of marmalade
  • It's a chemical, chemical kind
  • As it lights upon your eye
  • Lights upon your eye
  • The bosun calls upon the quay.
  • Compass gone, he long has lost his way
  • To lighthouse shine, to calm tide.
  • The bosun long has arrived.
  • Through the tarlatan holes,
  • You've been slipping, been slipping away
  • And the weather will hold
  • It's been ever so, ever so gray
  • But here as we're coming down
  • And we're sounding out:
  • it's a terrible, terrible tide
  • As it lights upon your eye
  • But there on the motorway,
  • reeks of marmalade
  • It's a chemical, chemical kind
  • As it lights upon your eye
  • Lights upon your eye
