Gymnast, High Above The Ground Lyrics - Her Majesty - Decemberists

The gymnast, high above the ground, 

Limbers up and falls timber down 

Ankles splayed and all tied 

The gymnast long has arrived 

Lazy, your long sister lays 

Waiting out this long light brigade 

Prayed for snow a long time 

And lazy, it long has arrived 

Through the tarlatan holes 

You've been slipping, been slipping away 

And the weather will hold 

It's been ever so, ever so gray 

La dee da dum.

And here as we're coming down 

We're sounding out: it's a terrible, terrible tide 

As it lights upon your eye 

But there on the motorway, reeks of marmalade, 

It's a chemical, chemical kind 

As it lights upon your eye 

Lights upon your eye 

The bosun calls upon the quay 

Compass gone, he long has lost his way 

To lighthouse shine, to calm tide 

The bosun long has arrived 

Through the tarlatan holes 

You've been slipping, been slipping away 

And the weather will hold 

It's been ever so, ever so gray 

And here as we're coming down 

We're sounding out: it's a terrible, terrible tide 

As it lights upon your eye 

Photos 

But there on the motorway, reeks of marmalade, 

It's a chemical, chemical kind 

As it lights upon your eye 

Lights upon your eye 

April marches on 

April marches on 

April marches on 

April marches on
