A Retinue Of Moons Lyrics - Rasputina

A retinue of moons, of icy moons 

They illuminate the land 

And they make me think of you 

What sunk silently 

To the depths of a mystery? 

A clue that only one scientist knew? 

Who knew that the sky is now found to contain benzene and methane and chalk 

And bloody mud, muddy blood from the sky 

From the sickly-sweet wings of Edith's checkerspot butterfly? 

They die in the ocean 

Their legs are broken 

The rain slows their flight as it soaks their wings 

A microphone will listen for thunder 

A telephone will dial a number 

To deliver a, a clearer picture 

Of weird, wet weather 

This puts all previous discoveries in doubt 

These are the things we have theories about 

Overhead, two sky titans 

They collide in slow motion 

While over the Ice Tongue, fluid flows 

A 1,000-foot thick chunk of sediment is exposed 

Your own special home 

A choking, vapor-laced haze 

Obscured by acid rain 

Enveloping everything 

At the edge of the Milky Way
