Glass Harmonica Lyrics by Arms

Summer Skills

2011

In the cold light of dawn, awoke in an empty room
Where everything found was lost
Like a loose tooth, like a teaspoon
Someone stole all the clocks, now we can't tell the time
I noticed you staring up at the night sky, at the night
But all I see is strange, as dark dissolves into day
And the curtain falls on the primal scene
But all you feel is breath, it's playing scales on your neck
From a crooked song in a minor key

Wait at the winter's edge, where we'll meet again
And we'll see our whole lives come true
Fingers on fragile times til we lose our minds
And we break the bonds that keep you in line

Someone excites your nerves, defuses your every mine
Someone's been throwing rocks at the beehive, at the beehive
Someone's tampered with our brakes, someone glued up the locks
We were weaving in and out of the lanes, coming full stop on the blacktop
And the pressure drops

Someone broke all the bed, now we don't need to rest
Our glowing bodies never sleep and we can't leave this mess
But all we do is stand with heavy hands in the sand
Cause the day is long and the light recedes
But all I ask is, please, be strong and right Emily
And I'll play along, long as you need

Wait at the winter's edge where you'll understand
There's a freezing soul who needs you
Sing me a slow sad song til my hearing's gone
And you break the ties that lead you
Screaming I had no choice til I lose my voice
And the sound of thunder bleeds through the noise
