El capitan


Standing there watching as they're climbing up El Capitan
Reaching for the draw and they're sleeping in their rubber bands
You said they were insane, shook your head as you grabbed my hand
Led me deep into the woods until we finally had to double back

Yeah, everything was roses every night it was baths and wine
Every time you would undress me
I could swear that you were freezing time
I thought that we were twins and lovers and we shared one mind
Until it turned transparent and blatant and serpentine

So it's time to pay the piper, don't want to be the last in line
They'll auction you at Christie's, you're gonna fetch a handsome price
And in time they'll decide what was yours and what was mine
And you'll end up in a ditched dream feeling like the color of the sky

So you're playing your Nintendo, spun out like a gramophone
Living in a basement, sleeping down there all alone
The conditions were perfect, more perfect for a perfect dream
Then they found you in the morning
Hanging from an extension cord

The world is on fire, California is a crucible
We're running out of water, they already stole all the gold
You kept kissing me like Judas, your betrayal was apropos
You said I'm washed up and that's what I get for growing old

It's time to pay the piper, you gotta be the first in line
So they're burning you an effigy
Well that happens to me all the time
Something kind in disguise, a canary in the mine
You can't say I didn't warn you or prepare you for the afterlife

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
