Sometimes it just falls into
your lap
A faded X marked on a nowhere
map
There’s nothing you can
do but laugh
As you defuse your fear
Guard it jealously between
your knees
From the station to the
comfort trees
And breathless without doubt
for once
In your slow-burning life
Your slow-burning life
You’re outside like you’ve
never been
This is your moment this
is your trampoline
And the air sings
The spell is broken but
there’s magic still
The spell is broken but
there’s magic still
Fleeting is the moon that
blocks the sun
So will all pretending come
undone
You can’t go back you can’t
go back
That currency’s no good
When the manic brass band
starts to play
And consequences take a
holiday
You hit the wave and know
at once
That everything is love
Everything is love
You’re outside like you’ve
never been
This is your moment this
is your trampoline
And the air sings
The spell is broken but
there’s magic still
The spell is broken but
there’s magic still
Notes:
The JX-3P organ (right channel)
was run through a rotary speaker
simulator; an eighth-note
triplet slapback echo was then applied.
The drum track is an inscrutable
blend of acoustic kit and looped samples.
