Lyrics
I jolted up to some new transference from a sliding door on a sister vessel and just let it play through
I left my wallet in El Segundo I left my true love in a West Lafayette escape room
she had the kind of smile to get a blue swine in trouble
the kind of smile to get a violent one-or-two-time felon employed
my little Jessica Rabbit, my Betty Rubble, my Moki Cherry, my Peggy Bundy, my Helen of Troy
I thought that I could make a better life with bubblegum and driftwood
her sweet nothings were nothing more than debts I would owe
she once said that nothing could make her feel quite as loved as one early morning kiss could
but I've been up too late one too many nights
why I let myself let her go and for who I'll never know
right there and then, that's where they'd begin these new threats from the soul
you can see the kingdom from the tailgate
if you stack a couple coolers but you're never going to see it from the front of the line
though I've seen some of the suckers they've been letting in there
and I think that the firmament bouncer was a rock pile buddy of mine
I will never be (never be) anything (anything) other than a caged bird swingin' from a chain swing
whistlin' for my pay seed peckin' on a W-9
singin' one of a kind (love affair is) love affair is
one of a kind (love affair is) one of a kind... and forever it goes
new threats from the soul a new sheriff in my heart's wild west
a slew of mismeasurements between the place where I stand and the place where I will rest
if you need me, you know where to find me north of a puddle and west of a hole
in what was once our home but is now just a house for all these new threats from the soul
I jolted up to some new transference from a sliding door on a sister vessel
it's hard to know sometimes if I'm on the right course
I'm scrambling to find Christ in all the places I'm told he likes
tomorrow is a white dwarf shining what's left of its light forth from a life once bold and bright
and I will never be (never be) anything (anything) other than a caged bird swingin' from a chain swing
whistlin' for my pay seed spinnin' like a carousel ride
if up's still up and down's still down, won't you tell me where the hell am I
I'm getting threats on top of threats from within
I've been bullied (bullied) bullied by a parallel time
cause I thought that I could make a better life with bubblegum and driftwood
turns out whatever we had was the best success I would know
now nothing could make me feel quite as unheard as one early morning wish could
when I'm wishing someone could quiet down these deafening threats from the soul
(new threats from the soul)
I was a cactus flower I had Heisman buzz
now it's a pissing competition between the man I am and the guy I was
your sweet nothings are still souring the sheets on the bed and the threads of my clothes
as I lie entrenched in my own ignorance and drenched from my head to my toes
in new threats from the soul new questions forming at the center point
it feels like hell is getting higher and the sky is getting lower
yet I'm only getting silence from the idols that I did anoint
I'll find what peace there is to find here north of a puddle and west of a hole
as I ramble on and place blame upon that which I've yet to behold
but can one really blame the soul
the strange positions I have put it in have led to mismeasurements between the place where I am
and the place where I could have been
the sliding doors have slid and now all I can do is do my best to control
cruel transferences from the mirror world and new threats from the soul...
