Green Typewriters - The Olivia Tremor Control

Million ribbons and floating stars

The night sky fades

Perception is an ocean

Your days are like eternity

Hey, it’s been so long

I’m out on the lawn

Watching a hundred typewriters soaked

In green paint

When you wake me up in a world of blue

And the stars are sinking low

And the sunshine is in view

The stillness of a sunday

And life seems like a cathedral

Sidewalks slowly crack

Memories of downtown fade

The stillness of a sunday

The exchange of conversation

We are now confused

But we cannot go back in time

Wake up

Feeling like you want to be down

Well, don’t be

There’s a time for everything

Just look around

I don’t want to die inside anymore

I don’t want to hear that song anymore

Wake up

It’s what the world should do and look around

Slow down

There’s time for everything

Just look around

What i need is space

And lots of it

Tons and tons of rooms

And lots of them

I’ll paint them green and red

And thirty six colors to custom mix

A collection of rugs with tons of tiny tassles

Sharp lines decorative designs

A place to harmonize away from conventional life

A place to radiate

A place to be just me

Return again and again to the giant day inside of my head

Tons and tons of ideas that never take off

It causes the untime

It’s all on a different level

And there’s so many

The stages are set

Everything is ready

Let the future come

Let the future linger on

How much longer can i wait?

When you’re ready to come back down

I’ll be waiting here

All your friends will be around

I promise i’ll wait forever
