lyrics

the people became so numerous
O lover can you hear?
that all the gods got all depressed
O lover can you hear?
this was the most terrible mess
how day becomes the night
I want to sing into the mess
then I run away to meet you

you know yr always on my list
O mother can you hear?
then drink some wine go out & piss
O mother can you hear?
the wise fools the kitchen circus
how night becomes the day
I want to bring you some of this O I

born born blind again
I'm follow folloowing you my friends
& there is no army that can stop
this miracle of lovers today.

pies in the sky pies down below
O father can you hear?
we learn to fly or something close
O father can you hear?
pretty girls & holy ghosts
how day becomes the night
I want to find us some of those
then I run away to meet you

& then we rise up everywhere
O daughter can you hear?
& I'm so glad that you are there
O daughter can you hear?
birds' nests & mermaids in the air
how night becomes the day
I want to find you everywhere O I...

born blind blind again...

the guitar blows the trumpet plays
O brother can you hear?
see how the superflux amaze
O brother can you hear?
I want to jump out of these days
how day becomes the night
I want to get out of my way my way my way my way to meet you

& then I stumbled metaphorically
O sister can you hear?
& then I stumbled actually
O sister can you hear?
that rainy night that old movie
I came all wet & late but I'm never late to meet you...

born born blind again...

Art Of Flying Taos

“Atmospheric, voraciously eclectic, momentarily Floydian … & thoroughly brilliant”
“...lo-fi soundscapes …a deftly prolific knack for poetic songwriting meets gorgeous musicianship.” —
"...hazy & beautiful, content to balance contradictions: critics calling them at first "clear & bright" & then in the next sentence, "creaky & weird;" "the best-kept secret in American music of the new century."
