Golden Birds – Cadmium lyrics

Is there a light in your eyes tonight baby everyone I know is sleepwalking
Faxsmilies synching us up synching us up sinking us down
And once your lungs fill it’ll feel nice as you drown
So you try to keep moving but the throughway is strewn with wrecks and everybody gawking

Is there desire in your eyes tonight baby everyone I know is just grazing
Swaying over shopping carts bathing in cadmium glow
Waiting on an impulse some signal to go
But our pollsters got us on hold as they tighten up their phrasing

If I can’t move will you move me
If I can’t move will you move me
If we can’t move will we move one another
Or just sleep with each other

Is there a fire in your eyes tonight like before we began juggling coasts
Back when our cackled incantations kept our house free of golems and ghosts
Well lately baby lately I’ve been seeing through my limbs

Will you move me with one of our hymns
Will you wake me with the words we would sing
Will you tell me how my voice could ring
Will you tell me about the boy who wanted everything
Will you help me revive him
