Spectacular Views Lyrics - The Execution Of All Things - Rilo Kiley

In steep cliffs 

with rocks all piled up 

mysteries of your passing luck 

Ages past 

shells and bits of foam 

forming new limestone 

to give things their turn 

There are no bad words for the coast today 

You never knew why you felt so good 

in the strangest of places 

Like in waiting rooms 

and long lines that made you late 

and mall parking lots on holidays. 

There are no bad words for the coast today 

when we hold our breath until nothing's left 

it all starts to fade. 

We can see the stars 

from where the birds make their homes 

staring back at us. 

Indifferent 

but distanced perfectly 

projected endlessly 

it's so fucking beautiful. 

There are no bad words for the coast today 

then you ask what's a palisade 

and if we're too late for happiness?
