The Very Old Man Songtext
von Hum

It′s eerie and it's awesome
How connected two pods scattered on the surface can become
Lazy into one
He knows lightnin′ kills the other
She can't stand to watch his petals fall
It's better when cascades become like us all


After noon, a golden disengagement leaves a woman with a household left to fill
Sit and be still
Send the voltage ′cross his ticker
Watch the stars, they start to flicker
And one by one, the levels fall

Another drink, my love, and make it tall enough
So I can stand on it and see
All you′ve done for me
A world of curves and lines electric
Remember how you strung the coloured lights
From Christmas tree to me
