Time Capsule Songtext
von Elysian Fields

Mystic yellow buttercup
Like a wand, hold it up
To reveal our desires
And our secret hearts
The first time I knew shame
And it gave me a start
Betrayed by nature′s golden bee, hum

Trading notes and dressing up
Kissing games and growing up
Skipping ahead
Why couldn't we wait?
To gypsy fortunes
We entrust our fate


I buried a time capsule deep in the ground
When I was ten with my best friend
For a faraway future to find one day
They′d say we were alive, we were alive
Treasures of then, we sheltered for them
A Cracker Jack ring and a dandelion stem
The wishes blew off, so we wrote them all down
With the thorn of a rose, in blood it was bound

Shooting pool and throwing darts
Wearing masks and playing parts
I wanna reach for the heart
Of this honeycomb
But it's falling apart
And there's nobody home
The bees are nowhere to be seen
Are they dreaming?

Learning love and breaking up
Taking risks and fucking up
Feeling the weight
Feeling the weight
Give the wheel a lively spin
Write the wishes down again
Death knows your name
But you′re here just the same
In nature′s pile of game


I buried a time capsule deep in the ground
When I was ten with my best friend
For a faraway future to find one day
They'd say they were alive, they were alive
Treasures of then, we sheltered for them
A Cracker Jack ring, a dandelion stem
The wishes blew off, so we wrote them all down
With the thorn of a rose, in blood it was bound
