Do you remember rock faces, hollow deity teeth, and all the good foundations?
Your fears went out of date now
You could be falling
And when you're up its sloping
And (lots/lights) of different ages, they can be colored
And all the places you go to
You don't get what they offer but then its (Nathan)
And they'd be (back ?)
A long time ago
Where'd he go, where'd he go now?
Where'd he go, where'd he go?
We exorcise the weekends from all the bad memories
We had a rough time Thursday
In recognizing Pantha
And on a road day, and that could last
A long time ago
Where'd he go, where'd he go now?
Where'd he go, where'd he go?
Look,
It's not real
Oh it's real
No, it's not real
Maybe it's only real
When lightning landed and hits you right where you were standing
and when your imagination shows you what only time's supposed to tell you
and when I imagine time he's got real big hands and bigger plans
From a long time ago
And did you remember suitcase and all the things we all had
(And all the expectation of being something special
You could be gone today, but that would take a long time ago) [Pitchfork Fest]
We had a rough dimension in recognizing feel
We're on a road again
Well I could take a long time ago
Look,
It's not real
Oh it's real
No, it's not real
Maybe it's only real
When lightning landed and hits you right where you were standing
and when your imagination shows you what only time's supposed to tell you
and then I imagine time he's got real big hands and bigger plans
From a long time ago
(There are none too small)
