Brand New Colony Lyrics

Brand New Colony lyrics

i'll be the grapes fermented, bottled and
served with the table set in my
finest suit
like a perfect gentleman.
i'll be the fire escape that's
bolted to the 
ancient brick where you will sit and
contemplate your
day.

i'll be the waterwings that save you if you
start drowning in an
open tab when your
judgement's on the brink.
i'll be the phonograph that
plays your favorite
albums back as your lying there drifting off
to
sleep.
i'll be the platform shoes and undo what
heredity's done to you:
you won't have to
strain to look into my eyes.
i'll be your winter coat
buttoned and zipped
straight to the throat with the collar up so
you
won't catch cold.

i want to take you far away from the cynics in
this
town and kiss you on the mouth.
we'll cut our bodies free from the
tethers of
this scene, start a brand new colony
where everything will
change, we'll give
ourselves new names (identities erased.)
the sun will
heat the ground under our bare
feet in this brand new colony.
everything
will change...
