lyrics

Mechanical objects
they get old and bust
they harbor a beautiful menace
in their rust
the bells of Yorkminster
clanging off kilter
I noticed their sound
then I noticed the blue of the foxgloves around you

There's a severed sound
to the battered bells
peeling on

I was always
an emotional kid
but the desire to sing
luxuriated in my bones
Your songs would inspire
every gilded clown
Now they're steeped in a menace
as I walk through this piss-ant town
(on my way to the old home)

There's dust on the wires
There's a cascade to the choir's unison
and I'm beginning to see the light
shaded through the mire of strife
Because it's the strife and not the ease
that bears the sweeter melody

You could try to grab it
But this town will disappear
it was just a figment
your fleeting frontier
