Lyrics
HOUSE OF HEAVENLY BODIES
In the rearview
Skeleton tree lines
And explosions in the sky
If I were a believer I'd take it as a sign
I may be be a cult contender
Drink moonlight from a glass
Sit in their circle singing songs
Asking spirit to move me
Sometimes its hard to hear the music
It's hard to just - -
Go home, sleep it off
Under nine square feet of stars
That you bought last week at the dollar store
Hoping for magic
Isn't it tragic
Isn't it so beautiful it hurts
To be human in the house of heavenly bodies.
Out the window
Toys in the backyard
And someone's burning trash
I light some incense on the dresser and think of you you you
How can someone post a photo of a sunrise
And decide to die the same day?
When you said God was a comedian
Was it laughter you needed?
I'd kill for a feeling
But I'm good here in the dirt
My heart is beating
And the sky is full of birds
And yeah it's a little tragic
It’s so beautiful it hurts
To be human in the house of heavenly bodies
