Transmitting Receiving

(album: The Golden Casket - 2021)

Horses, wagons, aeroplanes, cars, bathtubs into drains
Smartphones, doorbells, refrigerators, pencils, hens, paper
Skin, hair, watermelons, alligators, volcanos and super freighters
Dust on floors, grease in pores, the food you eat, opened doors
From the mountains to the shoes you bought
Scissor lifts, toys, rocks, grass, asps, planets, tin, magnets
Rabbits, palms, dreams, an ocean of our own air

Quarks, stars, defibrillators, blinds, struts, beaks, shocks
(Nothing in this world's gonna petrify me, we are repeating)
Tornados, crockpots, kumquats, baseballs, plants both big and small
Oysters, muscles, mirrors, walls, EKG, balloons (We are transmitting)
Cocoons, macadamias, plankton blooms (We are receiving)
Sulfur pools, rivers, ice, steam, patent leather, lice

Well, nothing in this world's gonna petrify me, we are repeating
(Vacuum cleaners, windows, lights, fans, scales, your smart device)
(Computers, clocks, drones, clones, trees and stalks)
(Moles, trolls, lights at four way stops, spiders) We are transmitting
(Mushrooms, atoms and their colliders) We are receiving
Salmon, pinecones, office dividers, mitochondria, caterpillars

Well, nothing in this world's gonna petrify me, we are repeating
(Packages left at the door, tin cans, the earth's core)
(Mustard seeds, turtles, weeds, herds of elk, teeth, you, me)
We've been transmitting
(Flocks of birds, forest fires, crispy chicken, bengal tigers)
We've been receiving
Jewelry, lumps of coal, things getting pulled into black holes
Horses, wagons, aeroplanes, cars, bathtubs into drains

But some things aren't visible
But some things aren't visible
Like yesterday, beams of light, cellphone calls (And tomorrow)
Like yesterday, beams of light, cellphone calls (And tomorrow)
No, some things aren't visible
No, some things aren't visible
Beams of light, breath and wind, yesterday (And tomorrow)
No, some things aren't visible

Vacuum cleaners, windows, lights, fans, scales, your smart device
Computers, clocks, drones, clones, trees and stalks
Moles, trolls, lights at four way stops, spiders
Mushrooms, atoms and their colliders

Nothing in this world's gonna petrify me, we are repeating
(Packages left at the door, tin cans, the earth's core)
Always vibrating
(Mustard seeds, turtles, weeds, herds of elk, teeth, you, me)
We are transmitting
(Flocks of birds, forest fires, crispy chicken, bengal tigers)
