Spiral Staircase Lyrics by Daniel Cave

Outside Arcs

0

Freckles of lamplight on asphalt
Permanent installation
And a motion-sense illumination
See how much greener they are
At night
Peripatetic
Peripatetic
Round on feet
Like a carousel
Round on feet
I walked the ladder
From Heaven to Hell
Jacob, where is Israel?
See how they’re turning yellow?
They’re turning yellow
How long will your fence be up?
You’ve got mesh with holes the size of a gnat
And you’ve got humidity on your bathmat
A beacon of rust
A beacon of rust
You’re gonna likе this one, aren’t you?
You’re gonna think this onе is so pleasant
You’re gonna think it’s so suave
What an indie take
I like how they’re just, like, walking around while they’re recording the song
You’re an astute fellow, aren’t you?
Making fun of yourself
Spiral staircase
Going up is the same as going down
No matter where
No matter which direction
You’re only going round
I’ll say it again
Spiral staircase
No matter if you’re going up or down
You’re always only going round
Above or down below
You got luggage to tow
Goodnight
“Hey, how’s it going?”
Terrible
Man invented light
Now all we do with it
Is cast shadows at night
I’m sure women invented light too
I’m sure we all invented light
But now all we do with it
Is cast shadows at night
Peripatetic
There’s our little Zion
Pillar with no roof
Column with no beam
A window with a triplet of holes
A curtain with a tear in its seam
(When three of you come together
You shall be called a church
When three of you come together
You shall be my church)
The greatest trinity is a traffic cone
Look at those three sides
How the three come together
Tell us where to stay away
