David Bazan - Impermanent Record lyrics
[David Bazan - Impermanent Record lyrics]
I was trembling with gooseflesh
First time I prayed to speak in tongues
I saw it coming and I tried to run
But now I make it up as I go along
Do I drive around with my high beams on?
Do I ever watch the road?
I store my thoughts in other people's heads
Then I question what they know
The rain falls on the animals
The wind blows up the dirt climb the rock
Make a home in the cleft
Keep a record of the earth
On the crowded city sidewalk
Or in the wilderness alone
The cloud of witnesses hover above you
Like a pillar of smoke
Singing stories, whispering jokes
I keep a record of the earth
And I write it down for what it's worth
For what it's worth
First time I prayed to speak in tongues
I saw it coming and I tried to run
But now I make it up as I go along
Do I drive around with my high beams on?
Do I ever watch the road?
I store my thoughts in other people's heads
Then I question what they know
The rain falls on the animals
The wind blows up the dirt climb the rock
Make a home in the cleft
Keep a record of the earth
On the crowded city sidewalk
Or in the wilderness alone
The cloud of witnesses hover above you
Like a pillar of smoke
Singing stories, whispering jokes
I keep a record of the earth
And I write it down for what it's worth
For what it's worth
