《Variations on the Grand National Championships》歌词

[00:00:21] I can see you in my telescope

[00:00:24] That punctures time like a needle through paper

[00:00:28] You're washing dishes during the civil war

[00:00:31] As your husband's stabbing your dad

[00:00:38] They never met so it's not even realized

[00:00:41] How heavy truly the moment

[00:00:46] And in the present in a shopping line

[00:00:48] My sugar refuses to scan

[00:00:59] Oh the time has come

[00:01:03] To crash right through the gates of ivory towers

[00:01:14] We must find a way

[00:01:20] To topple all the thrones

[00:01:29] You were right this light it comes from the night

[00:01:32] And takes the shame out of being so latent

[00:01:37] Everything that's been scheduled for you

[00:01:40] You call random and sleep through your days

[00:01:46] So you invest in every angle and hinge

[00:01:49] Hoping there's something to swing from or hide in

[00:01:54] But now there's nothing but a precipice

[00:01:57] And an old song to sing through the night

[00:02:07] Oh the time has come

[00:02:13] To crash right through the gates of ivory towers

[00:02:22] We must find a way

[00:02:29] To topple all the thrones

[00:02:37] Oh the time has come

[00:02:45] Oh the time has come

[00:03:10] Can we quake these tectonic plates

[00:03:21] Can it shake the street that you live on

[00:03:48] Portraits tumble to the hardwood floor

[00:04:19] Leaving dents and impressions of me

[00:04:25] I fall asleep on an empty highway

[00:04:33] As my truck crashes into the woodlands

[00:04:36] My feet are caught but I reach the flare gun

[00:04:45] Shoot it off but it's the 4th of July
