lyrics

On the top of a toppling tower, our lovers swayed and swooned.
They were darlings at dawn disillusioned by dusk. they were darlings at dawn disillusioned by dusk.
Her heart pittered and pattered a piece each day,
a song to sing and swing to, a poem prattled as she pranced away
—she dashed and danced to dodge the cogs of the
cosmic machine.

Star-crossed and dazed, sublimation gives way. Logic is lost in his lover's eyes—little oceans of tears that beg him to come down from the sky,
to go for a swim and die.

His consciousness conspired to catch the world,
to calculate its truths, to unearth an ultimate scheme.
The tower that tried to touch the heavens,
some strong skyscraper that soared toward the sky
was a sublimation, a sign to signify
his searching self.

Star-crossed and dazed, sublimation gives way. Logic is lost in lover's eyes—little oceans of tears that beg him to come down from the sky,
to go for a swim and die.

In spite of recognizing the vanity of their hopes (being-for-other-that-is-being-for-self), they wander about feverishly writing music that never quite satisfies their desires. ... more
