Lyrics

Drift aloft in some effortless place
Bound by delicate dread
Saving no face

Air dissolves where one game is designed
Something's elegant find
So the program goes

Fate decides how these columns align
Birth by chess or benign
Every moment

Marble gods tango circles in space
Round the already dead
Hung by staircase
Up

On and on the awakening light will bathe
Slumbers of ethereal sights
Today is renewed
Is reborn
Each day
I am new
I am yours

So please dismiss what they claim about this
Being in vain to explain
How expressed with a kiss
Taking passionate steps
Floor suspending abyss
Such impossible bliss
Such impossible bliss
Such impossible bliss
Such impossible bliss
Such impossible bliss
Such impossible bliss

Adlibs Transcription

Zubin Sedghi: Yo, this is a Joe Hawley production.
...F***, I missed my introduction from that.

Stephanie Koenig: (Laughter) Ah yeah, swearing! Uhm...

ZS: Let me say that again, it's so disjointed that I'm not gonna get into a flow or anything.
...It sounded so genuine? White Ball--
That's-- That is just the title! (Laughter)

Ross Federman: We probably shouldn't--

Joe Hawley: What?

ZS: I panicked--

RF: We probably shouldn't include all of him saying "I'm not gonna get into a flow or anything."

ZS: Also, I panicked and I just read the first words that were on there! (Laughter)

Bridge Demo

Ever, the awakening light will bathe
Slumbers of eternal night
Today is renewed
And reborn
Each day
I am new
I am yours

So please dismiss wa-da-dada da da
(throat clearing)
Forgive me, I... I'm a little bit sick, so that might've sounded terrible, but hopefully you get the idea.
