Andrew Bird - Masterfade

Well you sure didn't look like you were having any fun with that heavy-metal gaze They'll have to measure in tons and when you look up at the sky all you see are zeros All you see are zeros and ones You took my hand and lead me down to watch a kewpie doll parade We let the kittens lick our hair and drank our chalky lemonade It's not that i just didn't care i must admit i was afraid And i'm awfully glad my finger's resting gently on the masterfade, the masterfade I coulda played along the masterfade I coulda played mah jongg but it just takes too long And i just can't remember which way the east wind blows does it matter? If we're all matter what's it matter does it matter if we're all matter when we're done? When the sky is full of zeros and ones i saw you standing all alone in the electrostatic rain I thought at last i'd found a situation you can't explain with gps you know it's all just a matter of degrees Your happiness won't find you underneath that canopy of trees If the green grass is 6 the soybeans are 7 the junebugs are 8 the weeds and thistles are 11 And if the 1s just hold thier place the 0s a smiley face when they come floating down from the heavens You took my hand and lead me down to watch a papillon parade We let the kittens lick our hair and drank our chalky lemonade You squeezed my hand and told me softly that i shouldn't be afraid 'cause all the while your finger's resting gently on the masterfade, the masterfade I coulda played along the masterfade I coulda played mah jongg but it just takes too long And who the hell can remember which way the east wind blows when your lying on the ground staring up at an inverted compass I mean christ who knows?

A few hours later, the babysitter was calling to ask if she could cover up the clown statue in the kids' room, the father said,"Take the kids and get out of the house. We'll call the police, we don't have a clown statue. The clown statue is really a killer that escaped from jail. If you don't post this letter on to 10 videos tonight, the clown will be in your bed at 3:00 am with a chainsaw
