lyrics

I worry that I left something behind
After I lace my boots and shut the door to follow him
Or the spectral form he’s chosen
The shadow of Jamie as he was
He has become my guide
And we move blindly in the fog
Where he leads me to the evidence at last
The smell of the rain
An ovular form aglow in the dark
Am I still dreaming?
What secrets do you contain?

I will take your song to my people
Trumpet the news of your arrival
And if science doesn’t believe me
I will show them where the asteroid hit

Oh, what will the tabloids say?
Is it parade or parody?
Is it parade or parody?
Oh, what will the tabloids say
When they discover the giant egg?
Is it parade or parody?

We are alike under the hood
Always recalibrating our loose aims
Twin cannonballs
Lobbed between opposing towers
Now look where we stand, feeling the glass
This is the sign and every whisper of zoology
Goes quiet in my mind
Because it’s real, finally real
Finally something you could photograph
Or put inside a box
The hauntings weren’t for nothing

And I will sing your song to my people
Warmth of the membrane on my fingers
And if science doesn’t believe me
My value isn’t the work I’ve done

Oh, what will the tabloids say?
Is it parade or parody?
Is it parade or parody?
Oh, what will the tabloids say
When they discover the giant egg?
Is it parade or parody?

What of the neon lights in the sky?
What of the chemical burns in the twilight?
Ours are the days of data forever
What of the oil spilled in the streets?
What of the glyphs drawn in the wet concrete?
Now is the age of data forever
What of the demagogues and the spies?
What of the chain of command in the high-rise?
Ours are the days of data forever
What of the rising sun in the east?
What of the firemen called to the gas leak
Now is the age of data forever
