breaking up with myself
'cause I'm too high maintenance
starling on a wire
sitting on the fence

didn't hear what I said
about living in our heads
and rushing with euphoria
where angels fear to tread

we go so far back
we're antidiluvian
like rulers of atlantis
with scales on our eyes

but i'll still see me around
when i'm looking in the mirror
till one day
it isn't me

looks like I'm playing myself
in the role of my life
I know there's nobody else
who can get it right

guess i'll have to play to my strengths
roll a little deep space weird
lengthen like wavelengths
through the atmosphere

breaking up with myself
'cause I'm too high maintenance
starling on a wire
sitting on the fence

sorry sorry night
filled with stars still shining bright
the sound of one hand clapping
along with the beat

guess i was playing myself
wiggling out of my head
bidding a fond farewell
pulling on the threads

looks like I'm playing myself
in the role of my life
I know there's nobody else
who can get it right

if we live in every direction
we'll find retrospection
becomes all the rage
shadows on the page

didn't hear what I said
about living in our heads
and rushing with euphoria
where angels fear to tread

breaking up with myself
'cause I'm too high maintenance
starling on a wire
sitting on the fence

A new psychedelic folk song! (Or is it progressive folk? Or freak folk?)
