For the Pier (And Dead Shimmering)

Sunset Rubdown

I, I pushed off the pier
Infinity ran cold
And filled up my ears
There's the weapon you hold
There's the thing that you hold it to
And the thing you hold dear

Oh, the speed of a year
It runs the wood dry
And water unclear
There's the thing you hold high
Then there's the thing that you hold it to
And the thing you hold dear

I will be an enemy to men seen in the light
Do you think it's alright?
Yes, I think it's alright
It's alright

If you make the waves
The sun makes the rays
The speed of the light
Can be trusted to prey
To prey on the fools
That pushed off your pier
The whirling of pools runs clear

Da, da, da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, da

So I'll be out 'til the shimmering dies
I said, I'll be out 'til the shimmering dies
It's the ringing of the predatory nature of the sky
And the ringing sound it makes when it's burning out your eyes
It's alright, it is alright

It's the speed of the light
It's the speed of a year
It's the weapon you hold
And the thing you hold dear
Oh my dear, oh my dear
It's infinity's time to shine out here
If you make the waves
The sun makes the waves
The speed of the light
Couldn't be trusted to prey
To prey on the fools
That pushed off your pier
The whirling of pools runs clear

Da, da, da, da, dum
Da, da, da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, dum
Da, da, dum

The rocking of boats and the making of mirrors
The whirling of pools running clear

Da, da, da, da, da dum

I hear them say, "put the weapon away"
It's the thing you know and they're taking it away
I know
But I'll find a way
I'll find a way to let the dear thing go

Bum, bum, bum, bum
Bum, bum, bum, ba, da, dum

If you make the waves
The sun makes the rays
The speed of the light
Can be trusted to prey
To prey on the fools
That pushed off your pier
The whirling of pools runs clear

Da, da, da, dum
Da, da, da, dum
Da, da, da, dum
Da, da, dum

The rocking of boats and the making of mirrors
The whirling of pools running clear
