Staring at the Sun - TV On The Radio

cross the street from your storefront cemetary

hear me hailing from inside and realize

i am the conscience clear

in pain or ecstacy

and we were all weaned my dear

upon the same fatigue

staring at the sun

oh my own voice

cannot save me now

standing in the sea

it’s just

one more breath

and then

down i go your mouth is open wide

the lover is inside

and all the tumults done

collided with the sign

you’re staring at the sun

you’re standing in the sea

your body’s over me note the trees because

the dirt is temporary

more to mine than fact face

name and monetary

be what you will

and then thrown down your life

oh it’s a damned fine game

and we can play all night

beat the skins and let the

loose lips kiss you clean

quietly pour out like light

like light, like answering the sun

you’re staring at the sun

you’re standing in the sea

your mouth is open wide

you’re trying hard to breathe

the water’s at your neck

there’s lightning in your teeth

your body’s over me
