[00:00.00]Masterfade - Andrew Bird
[00:09.11]Well you sure didn't look like you were having any fun
[00:12.91]
[00:13.66]With that heavy-metal gaze
[00:15.79]They'll have to measure in tons
[00:18.12]And when you look up at the sky
[00:20.04]
[00:20.95]All you see are zeros
[00:23.00]And all you see are zeros and ones
[00:27.53]
[00:30.89]You took my hand and led me down
[00:33.14]To watch the Kewpie Doll Parade
[00:35.11]
[00:39.95]We let the kittens lick our hair
[00:42.18]And drank our chalky lemonade
[00:44.11]
[00:49.27]It's not that I just didn't care I must admit I was afraid
[00:55.75]
[00:58.42]And I'm awfully glad my finger's resting gently
[01:01.31]On the masterfade
[01:03.36]
[01:04.42]The masterfade
[01:06.62]I could a played along the masterfade
[01:10.19]I could a played Mah Jongg but it just takes too long
[01:16.09]And I just can't remember which way the east wind blows
[01:20.21]
[01:21.81]Does it matter If we're all matter
[01:24.40]
[01:25.03]What's it matter Does it matter
[01:28.04]If we're all matter when we're done
[01:30.18]
[01:31.36]When the sky is full of zeros and ones
[01:39.21]
[02:18.61]I saw you standing all alone in the electrostatic rain
[02:23.11]I thought at last I'd found a situation you can't explain
[02:27.95]With GPS you know it's all just a matter of degrees
[02:32.38]Your happiness won't find you underneath that canopy of trees
[02:36.42]
[02:38.43]If the green grass is 6 and the soybeans are 7
[02:42.73]
[02:43.56]The June bugs are 8 the weeds and thistles are 11
[02:47.76]The 1's just hold their place 0's make a smiley face
[02:52.67]When they come floating down from the heaven
[02:57.21]
[03:00.31]You took my hand and led me down to watch a Papillon Parade
[03:04.19]
[03:09.49]And we let the kittens lick our hair and drank our chalky lemonade
[03:14.02]
[03:18.70]You squeezed my hand and told me softly that I shouldn't be afraid no
[03:25.47]
[03:27.92]'Cause all the while your finger's resting gently on the masterfade
[03:34.82]
[03:36.02]Masterfade
[03:36.96]
[03:38.20]I could a played along the masterfade
[03:41.73]No no I could a played Mah Jongg but it just takes too long
[03:47.34]
[03:48.06]Who the hell can remember which way the east wind blows
[03:52.24]When you're lying on the ground staring up at that inverted compass
[03:58.18]
[03:59.17]I mean Christ who knows
