Nobody's asked us what doing this means, so we'll presume it's OK, if that's OK. Comedy Raincloud falls on everything; so many memories crammed into two weeks. Who's got the answers for you? Him or me? Leaving you at the airport was not easy, so behind me work out how it's meant to be. Everything's undone. Take me higher. One more night 'til you're back in my arms and I can live this half-life once again. Two more weeks and then the cheating'll cease and everything comes back around again. Running around. You're always two hours and 2000 miles away; another night where it's just Sufjan and Ani, and I don't mind. You're slowly letting me know that it will never be; another night where it's just Sufjan and Ani and me. Everything's undone. Take me higher.

Flying Cars 03:49
I run down to the back of the garden, arms wide open, bracing for flight. And when I find out that it won't work, I'll already have smashed my face on the fence. Three years I've worked on these theories; now it seems I've wasted my time. So I take my head and charge it at full speed directly into the fence. And the cars won't roll forever, so just let things stay the same. Someday we'll all fly together and find ourselves again. I roll into the hospital waiting room, limbs broken, writing in pain. And as I gaze up at the ceiling, I think about the cost for repairing the fence. And the cars won't roll forever, so just let things stay the same. Someday we'll all fly together and find ourselves again. Flying machines. And the cars won't roll forever, so be great in reverie. 'til the end of all our tethers, we'll find ourselves again. And the cars will change forever; things won't let them stay the same. If we light the sky together, we'll find our feet again.

You flex my bones when something here just ain't quite right. A ringing phone; could this be what we've waited for all year and time? Three nights in static lighting, then I'll get… Playing violin on the back of a giant moth in a black ensemble. The moonlight the spotlight, the stars the spectators. I'm waiting here for the call. Street lights provide the late-night hang-outs for tiny flying things. Three nights in static lighting, then I'll get up and take the call. Now I'm watching the sun go down on this evening, thinking meticulously. Praying for a forest to brave in your honour; you remain impartially. Street lights provide the late-night hang-outs for tiny flying things. Three nights in static lighting, then I'll get up and make the call. Street lights, they provide late-night hang-outs for tiny flying things. Three nights in static lighting I've spent but now I'm in a call. Hold tight and start the engine; there's something on the horizon. I've been feeling so lonely, but your buzz is something wonderful.

If you ignore the best before end date, you forfeit your right to a pleasant consumer experience. The dinosaurs are here in congo-form. They shake our timelines left and right, they come undone. They're coming down. We'll find our place in the future of things and make good of this torture I'm in and find ourselves in the future of things, 'cause we've got time. We're the people on the streets, fine. The sun shines again on every feeling we've ever known is here. Now running backwards, don't waste your wonderings; There's time for everyone. The dinosaurs are here in congo-form. They shake our timelines left and right, they come. And everyone you've ever known can feel you there and all you love will come and go. Feel you there. We'll find our place in the future of things amidst the flying and thinking machines, and find ourselves in the future of things 'cause we've got time. Get up, then out, we're following the lead of legacies. One last glance at the crowd before the curtain falls.
