Modest Mouse - Transmitting Receiving lyrics

Horses, wagons, aeroplanes, cars
Bathtubs into drains
Smartphones, doorbells, refrigerators
Pencils, hens, paper
Skin hair, watermelons, alligators
Volcanoes and super freighters
Dust on floors, grease in pores
The food you eat, opened doors
From mountains to the shoes you
Bought, scissor lifts, toys, rocks
Grass, asps, planets, tin
Magnets, rabbit's, palms, dreams
An ocean of our own air, quarks, stars
Defibrillators (Well, nothing in this world
Is gonna petrify me)
Blinds, struts, beaks, shocks
Tornadoes, crockpots, kumquats
(We are repeating)
Baseballs, plants both big and
Small, oysters, muscles, mirrors, walls
(Wе are transmitting)


EKG, balloons, cocoons, macadamias
Plankton blooms (We are rеceiving)
Sulfur pools, rivers, ice
Steam, patent leather, lice
(Well, nothing in this world's
Gonna petrify me)
Vacuum cleaners, windows, lights
Fans, scales, your smart device
(We are repeating)
Computers, clocks, drones, clones
Trees and stalks, moles and trolls
(We are transmitting)
Lights at four-way stops, spiders, mushrooms
Atoms and their colliders (We are receiving)
Salmon, pinecones, office
Dividers, mitochondria, caterpillars
(Well, nothing in this world's
Gonna petrify me)
Packages left at the door, tin cans
The earth's core (We are repeating)
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 gettin' 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
Cell phone calls and tomorrow
Like yesterday, beams of light
Cell phone calls and tomorrow
No, some things aren't visible
No, some things aren't visible
Like 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 and trolls
Lights at four-way stops, spiders, mushrooms
Atoms and their colliders
(Well, nothing in this world's
Gonna petrify me) salmon, pinecones, office
Dividers, mitochondria, caterpillars
(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
(Nothing in this world's gonna petrify me)
Jewelry, lumps of coal
Things gettin' pulled into black holes
(We are repeating)
Horses, wagons, aeroplanes, cars
Bathtubs into drains (We are transmitting)
EKG, balloon, cocoons, macadamias
Plankton blooms (We are receiving)
Sulfur pools, rivers, ice
Steam, patent leather, lice ​
