View From The Watertower Lyrics by The Book of Knots

Traineater

2007

I'm counting cars
I'm counting passing clouds
I'm counting how loud, loud
Loud, loud my ears can
Hear me roar!
All the spiders love me
Water tanks above me
Racing through with orange paint on faded blue
I climb up there and draw a heart for you
I draw a heart for you
Yeah, the stars aren't in heaven, babe
They aren't in heaven, babe
They're in passing cars
Legendary locust
Dust, dust, dust, dust
Baby, there's dust inside
Maybe numbers are starting to lie
I gotta get out, I gotta try
I knew a guy
Who went over the bridge here just to die
Quiet now
That's [?] [?]
Quiet now
That's more silence than even I [?] [?]
(I gotta get out)
I gotta stay awake!
(I gotta get out)
I gotta stay awake!
Gotta stay awake!
I gotta stay awake
I gotta get out of here
I knew a guy
Who went over the bridge
Here just to die
Quiet now
Let's fuck off time
And admit we're never going to stop
Existing in a dead moment
This time, time is a joke
We wear on our wrists
And we just don't get it
Mom, Mom, Dad, Mom
Too long, all the while
A child, child, child inside
Breeding numbers and speed
And fast trains out of here
Get me the fuck out of here
I don't care if it's time
I don't care if it's fast
But get me out of this place
F-fuck, ooh
Square root of six-six-six
Is approximately five squared
Is three times Route 74
That's [?] numbers nine-nine-nine
At the 83rd decimal place it just--
73rd and one-one-one and it's third of the fifth
And the seven-seven-seven in the Sioux City sits
And its decimal place and it adds its fourth
With dot dot dot dot dot
Who gives a shit?
Dis-rah-dismuh-disureh--
Digital numerical core
As soon as we see the number three
It's really more like four!
I fuck with nine and 54!
Because it's all just more, more, more!
More, more, more!
More, more, more!
Stay with me
Stay with me
I [?] my eyes
The spans of lies
A hundred times I've seen you die
For us babe, for us babe
As in my head I start to cry
[?] tell me am I dead?
It's in my head
(Let's fuck off time!)
[?] said
(Let's fuck off time!)
There'll never be enough time
Never be enough time
([?])
Never be enough time
([?] don't get it!)
For me to love you
(There'll never be enough time
For me to love you!)
Completely
(Completely)
Mom's in the back
Walking [?]
Dad's on the porch
Swing [?] another bee sting
All the while the child, child, child
Inside breeding numbers
Numbers, numbers, numbers
Numbers and speed
(Come with me babe)
And fast trains
(Come with me babe)
Out of here
(Come with me)
Get me the fuck
(Come with me)
Out of here
(Come with me)
I don't care
Even if it's nowhere
