lyrics

Summer was a green and dizzy walk
I made a universe from shades of orange
And children's dialogues
All folded up and occupying space
On complementary sensory planes
If it doesn't make sense at all
Then you didn't miss anything at all
Life is a drunk ferris wheel
Bowing in porcelain prayer
With its head filled with morning glory wine
The Irishman was smiling through red teeth
With fly agarics in his hands he lisped
To love thy fellow man
And then he pressed one on my tongue
And I saw every color glowing all at once
Like I was seeing them for the first time
Some, I really was seeing for the first time
Life's a remote rationale
With its head in the clouds
And its brilliance concealed like morning glory wine

Decompositions:Volume Number One
by Circle Takes the Square

Brings all the passion and technical sophistication from 2004's As the Roots Undo but with much more fluid compositions. Worth purchasing for the last track alone! Novus spero
