Astronautalis - Oceanwalk lyrics

rate me

I saw the door and I looked through the entrance

Stare down night sky, dot pattern seeming endless

Broken friendship, dandy dog on leash

Door latch caught spot, shoe stomp on street

Tape deck plays and the reels will spin

Suburb sound close down as boom-bap begin

My red face hide in the shade of the trees

As buggered blue moonlight pass through the leaves

Carry out my concerning deeds in the deprevation of the darkness

The com-com-comfort of cavedweller locked inside an apartment

I spark this with the marked mistakes of minors learning

How to build a better book of matches by watching the fire burning

I can count all my dreams on a pair of pinnoccio fingers

And trace the trail back home from all the tumbling splinter

A silly beginner, basic aprentice aggression

In the absence of a master, trying to make up my own lesson

Who knew I would wait such a long time

From the dreams to leaves to the cracks in the pavement

To the roaches and rat and the amoured cars pacing

To the spies and the thieves and the cross-eyed complainers

To the...ain't that long when you count out the paces

From the breach to the tracks to the aliens with statments

To the grief and the crap that they all want to wade in

To the forth and back, the forth and back, there is no turning back again

Secrets explode wether you mean it or not

I locked my dreams with the right keys but I worked the wrong lock

The strong box screws split quick before I could retighten

I learned lightening strikes and leaves before language leaks "it lightens"

The waking of the dead to live and work with the freaks

I was a vampire roaming streets when I would swear I'is a sleep

The beeping of the buzzer burn my brain the next day

I tried to brush my teeth but never could remove the blood stains

A double life of moonlighting grows tiring from trying

If you got to work a day job and keep the villagers from rioting

The list of lies, lengthened longer, left life laymen honest

Invited the world into my home to show the bones stacked in my closet

A dumb little skeleton walking miles to chase a silly dream

Stubborn skull, split shoes, punctuated by abrasive feet

All the while stalking, walking, akward through the night

In the stomach of the suburbs with a dog by my side

(chorus x3)
