Green Typewriters-The Olivia Tremor Control

Million ribbons and floating stars The night sky fades Perception is an ocean Your days are like eternity Hey, it's been so long I'm out on the lawn Watching a hundred typewriters soaked In green paint When you wake me up in a world of blue And the stars are sinking low And the sunshine is in view The stillness of a sunday And life seems like a cathedral Sidewalks slowly crack Memories of downtown fade The stillness of a sunday The exchange of conversation We are now confused But we cannot go back in time Wake up Feeling like you want to be down Well, don't be There's a time for everything Just look around I don't want to die inside anymore I don't want to hear that song anymore Wake up It's what the world should do and look around Slow down There's time for everything Just look around What i need is space And lots of it Tons and tons of rooms And lots of them I'll paint them green and red And thirty six colors to custom mix A collection of rugs with tons of tiny tassles Sharp lines decorative designs A place to harmonize away from conventional life A place to radiate A place to be just me Return again and again to the giant day inside of my head Tons and tons of ideas that never take off It causes the untime It's all on a different level And there's so many The stages are set Everything is ready Let the future come Let the future linger on How much longer can i wait? When you're ready to come back down I'll be waiting here All your friends will be around I promise i'll wait forever
