Lint & Legacies

[Intro]
[Verse]
Under the mahogany sky
Where my cables go to die
There is a kingdom made of grey
Living life another way
Prince Fluff wears a copper crown
Found it when the sun went down
(Wait, is that a guitar string?)
(No, it is a golden wing)
They trade in bits of broken glass
Watching all the giants pass
[Pre-Chorus]
The Wurlitzer hums a low prayer
Vibrating through the stagnant air
They gather round the pedal base
To seek a little bit of grace
In this dusty, quiet place
[Chorus]
Oh, the lint constellations (Heavenly light)
Tiny soft civilizations (Holding on tight)
In the shadows of the floor
They do not ask for any more
Just a thread of blue velvet (Sweet relief)
And a moment of belief (Beyond the grief)
Yeah, we are all just drifting
While the heavy clouds are shifting
[Post-Chorus]
Spinning in the draft
(Yeah, they do it like that)
Drifting through the dark
(Finding every little spark)
[Verse]
The foraging party departs
With very heavy, fuzzy hearts
They found a scrap of silk today
Three inches from the ashtray
Heave-ho, says the Duke of Dander
As the bass begins to wander
(Watch out for the rolling wheel)
(You know how the gravel feels)
They store the wool in silver bins
Forgetting all their tiny sins
[Bridge]
I look down from my swivel chair
And wonder if they know I am there
A giant breathing silver clouds
Above their silent, static crowds
Do they see my lonely face?
Lost within this hollow space?
We are both just stardust, dear
Waiting for the atmosphere to clear
[Chorus]
Oh, the lint constellations (Heavenly light)
Tiny soft civilizations (Holding on tight)
In the shadows of the floor
They do not ask for any more
Just a thread of blue velvet (Sweet relief)
And a moment of belief (Beyond the grief)
Yeah, we are all just drifting
While the heavy clouds are shifting
[Breakdown]
The rainstick taps a rhythm slow
Where the lonely spirits go
The clarinet begins to weep
While the kingdom falls asleep
(Sleepy relief, yeah)
(Fizzy little dreams)
[Verse]
The annual ritual begins
Underneath the rolling pins
They map the stars of polyester
While the studio lights fester
One for the cat, one for the coat
Setting every dream afloat
(Is it time to go to bed?)
(Leave a little golden thread)
They tuck into the velvet fold
Safe from all the winter cold
[Chorus]
Oh, the lint constellations (Heavenly light)
Tiny soft civilizations (Holding on tight)
In the shadows of the floor
They do not ask for any more
Just a thread of blue velvet (Sweet relief)
And a moment of belief (Beyond the grief)
Yeah, we are all just drifting
While the heavy clouds are shifting
[Outro]
