The Very Old Man Lyrics

It's eerie and it's all somehow connected
Two pods scattered on the surface can become lazy in to one
He knows lightning kills the other
She can't stand to watch his petals fall
It's better when cascades become like us all
Afternoon, a golden disengagement leaves
A woman with a household left to fill
Sit and be still
I send the voltage cross his ticker
Watch the stars they start to flicker

And one by one levels fall
Another drink, my love, and make it
Tall enough so I can stand on it and see
All you've done for me
A world of curves and lines electric
Remember how you strung the colored lights
From christmas tree to me
