The Very Old Man Lyrics - You'd Prefer An Astronaut - Hum

It's Eerie and it's awesome 

How connected two pods scattered on the surface can become 

Lazy into one 

He knows lightnin' 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, 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
