Heaven Is Attached By A Slender

The One AM Radio Heaven Is Attached By A Slender Lyrics
1.Sunlight

You wouldn't think it would get this dark
Driving down the stretch of Wilshire Boulevard
But the sodium lights don't seem to reach as far
From within the cheap tint of this goddamned car
Still there's just enough glare to block out the stars
I traced the familiar length of the street like a scar
All the curves and the angles, all committed to heart
And after all of this time, it shouldn't be this hard
To go home

Come on, sunlight
Get me out of here
Come on, sunlight
Get me out of here alive
Get me out of here alive

I head North towards a burning park
Where dry wind's been churning the ashes and sparks
To climb up on a bluff black, beaten and charred
And behold the blinking grid of the boulevards
Lanes stretching far out to a distant dark
Veins pumping cars into a lonely heart
Full of paper thin chambers keeping us apart
Where I sleep to keep waiting for my life to start
On it's own
On it's own

Come on, sunlight
Get me out of here
Come on, sunlight
Get me out of here alive
Get me out of here alive


2.An Old Photo Of Your New Lover

Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh

An old photo of your new lover
That you discovered in a book she lent.
Shot in some sun-drenched piazza
Or whatever in Rome or wherever it is she went.
There's a sly glint in her eye
And you can only guess at what it might have meant.

There's a world without you.
There's a world without you.

Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh

A new photo of your old lover
That you discovered to your chagrin.
It's been so long since it all went sunder
That you stopped wondering where she's been.
Her hair's changed,
Her clothes are strange
At a party where the likes of you would never get in.

There's a world without you.
Yeah, there's a world without you.
There's a world without you.
Yeah, there's a world without you.

You don't want the news if you're not a part of it!
Even if it's true you still fall apart if it...
You don't want the news if you're not at the heart of it!
Even if it's true.
Even if it's true.


You don't want the news if you're not a part of it!
Even if it's true you still fall apart if it...
You don't want the news if you're not at the heart of it!
Even if it's true.
Even if it's true.

There's a world without you.
Yeah, there's a world without you.
There's a world without you.
Yeah, there's a world without you.
Oh...

Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh

Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh


3.Everything Falls Apart

Oh, move slow.
Oh, move slow.
Everything falls apart after you go.

No, you won't
Stay close, I know.
I wanna hold on as long as I can feel your glow.

Oh, move slow.
Oh, move slow.
Everything falls apart after you go.

No, you won't
Stay close, I know.
I wanna hold on as long as I can feel your glow.

Everything falls apart after you go.


4.In A City Without Seasons


5.Plans

From the narrow streets
Of this narrow town
Where lives compete
Most let down
I'll be a fading ghost
A distant memory
Like things you fear the most
Don't ever speak of me

I'm gonna change my name
I'm gonna be a star
I'm gonna ditch the shame
Of who my parents are

And if ever if ever if ever
If ever someone asks where I've been
They'll say we never, we never, we never
We never saw the bastard again
No we never saw the bastard again
I am leaving here as fast as I can

I've seen the empty space
Behind my neighbors eyes
If you don't leave this place
Something inside you dies
I'm done eating dinner in the drive through parking lot
Listing all the things I've been called that I swear I'm not
That I swear I'm not

I swear if ever, if ever if ever
If ever someone asks where I've been
They'll say we never, we never, we never
We never saw the bastard again

Yeah if ever, if ever, if ever
If ever someone asks where I've been
They'll say we never, we never, we never
We never saw the bastard again
I am leaving here as fast as I can

Fuck this town and all the things I have been
I am leaving here as fast as I can


6.While You're Still Sleeping


7.Everyone But You

i don't want to go out, and wade through all the faceless crowds
and their stories. i don't care about all the petty details, so
no need to inform me. everybody bores me everyone but you. One
time, i gave it a shot:i took one step forward, tried to tell my
story. no one gave it much thought. i'm not sure they noticed.
there's nothing out there for me, where everyone's ignored me.
everyone ignored me everyone but you. everyone abhors me. if
i'm honest, well, then surely i can see that. everyone abhors me
everyone but you.


8.Credible Threats

I'm never sleeping, I'm too busy keeping
track of all the ways they say I might die:a
turbulent airplane, the shuddering L train,
a sudden flood of brake lights on I-5.
My heart rate gets nervous, your phone is out of service.
I'm sweating all the things I could have done while I
stand on the corner, eyeing all the foreigners,
like I straight up forgot where I come from.

I'm never sleeping, I'm too busy keeping
track of all the things that could go wrong while
young turks, they line up, the hackles on their spines up,
across from riot cops stretched ten blocks long. And in
satellite photos, some scorched patch of Earth shows
tyrants erecting statues of themselves.
I tape up windows just to practice, cash stashed in the
mattress,
and a year of bottled water on my shelves.

Tom Brokaw's talking about a dirty bomb.
I got another call from my poor mom.
I lie awake, with one hand on your back
I'm never sleeping, I'm still keeping track.
