Ephemeral Glue

Lyrics by Wilton. Music by Dittrich, Wilton, and Powell. Arranged by Dwarf Nebula.

Full skeleton puppets strung from interwoven flesh
Adrift on the fringe. Harmonious dissonance
Ride with the spacewhales. Watch the time stream by
Give it up to Lucy still up there in the sky.

She’s been reigning diamonds since back in ’65
Dance the edge of the envelope ‘til you arrive
Posted in a parcel packed in cellulite
Sliced along the tongue from where you sealed it tight.

Chorus:

Worlds within us. Worlds without.
We’re wheels within wheels only contained by doubt.
There’s a feeling inside me that began with you
Guess it’s time I tried me some ephemeral glue.


We’re meat draped on frames without our consciousness
Walking bags of fluid; but we couldn’t care less.
Unless you see down to the psychetroposphere
It’s only delusion that we ever left here.

So pipe it out the organs sing and dance and shite
Try not to pretend you aren’t made of light.
Life’s fleeting enough without you spurning time
So spend it all full well: Commit yourself no crime.

(Chorus)

Bridge:

Ephemeral glue. Ephemeral glue
Is it the only kind that has a chance at holding you?
Grasp it too tight and it always slips through
Where can I find that ‘ol ephemeral glue?


So bite the waxing tadpole in the corporate snout
If you only see the surface turn it inside out
Unravel it around you. Roll yourself on through
Do harm to no one else. To thine own self be true.

Open ended expansion; Keep an open head
Learn to spot the meanings in between what’s said
Find magic in your life. Simply discover what it’s about
When you’ve been through it all you will have found your way out.

(Chorus)

Floating clouded sheep dressed up in wolves’ disguise
Inflated ego follows bank account. It’s no surprise
Takes a dire situation for the shit to rise to the top
Check yourself before you don’t know when to stop.

Experiment exponentially fractal folds we’re in
Sometimes you secrete a second psychic skin
Lovely long antennae, tentacles to boot
This clear and tasteful honey’s made tailored to suit

(Chorus->Bridge)
