My Pillow Is The Threshold Lyrics - Lookout Mountain, Lookout Sea - Silver Jews

Silver Jews 

Lookout Mountain Lookout Sea 

My Pillow Is The Threshold 

I take decaf coffee 

Two sugars and one cream 

I don't see the use in staying up 

Just to watch tv 

I unplug all the neon 

Turn the ringer off the phone 

Throw my thoughts like tomahawks 

Into this world which I disown 

Because the pillow that i dream on 

Is the threshold of a kingdom 

Is the threshold of a world 

Where I'm with you 

Its a dark and snowy secret 

And it has to do with heaven 

And what looks like sleep 

Is really hot pursuit 

I hold your picture in my mind 

It makes me warm when I'm cold 

It gets me up, it makes me walk 

It makes me question what I'm told 

Somewhere in a foggy atlas 

Lookout mountain, lookout sea 

First life takes time, then time takes life 

Now the next move's up to me 

Because the pillow that I dream on 

Leads to some fantastic glory 

It's a threshold of a world 

I can't ignore 

Like time on school from heaven(?) 

Did you find me sleeping in your doorway 

Now I'm here for good 

I won't leave you anymore
