Phoenix - Winter Solstice lyrics

A restricted area shaped like a Petunia
Thank God you know your ways
It's on your mind it's on all the time
And I find it hard to explain
What would you trade me for?
While this girl's playing hula hoop
Under the malicious winter solstice

Turn the lights on find me a narrative
Something positive
This requiem played a few times before
I heard it once so I'm not sure
On the phone, "I told you"
Why open your eyes to go to bed?
Drive straight to the ocean
And see what we won't find out
Even the righteous beheaded their loved ones

Now it's hard to connect
But the world's unchained and soon
It'll be public domain
It's too hard to remain astute
But, I will stay if you're detained
With you i'll wash my hands
Until It rains through you

Keeping the lights on obliged to the bygones
Thank God you know your ways
If this time it's true
Why bother reeling you?

All this fine jewelry
Look at this diamond shaped out of glass
I try to make this Ruby shine nice
I'm trying to make a living
Is that something that you don't mind fine
Did you ever think it could
Have been in our lifetime?

So give me a ride home find me a narrative
Something positive
This requiem played a few times before
I heard it twice so I'm not sure
On the phone "I told you"
Why open your eyes to go to bed?
Drive straight to the ocean
Let's see what you won't find out
Cover your eyes for Winter Solstice

Now it's hard to connect
But the world's unchained and soon
It'll be public domain
It's too hard to remain astute
But, I will stay if you're detained
With you i'll wash my hands
Until it rains through you
