Dare Not Dive
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You were right about the departed
But you're wrong about the history boys
I was wrong
About the painting of a ski slope
It reminds me of your insolent poise
A citadel that we imagined
Can't climb inside
It floats like airport information
I want to drown but i dare not dive
Dare not dive, i dare not dive
Up at midnight
Watching arthur russell
With his cello buzzing by his side
Bas jan ader
Hanging from the branches as he falls and he cries
A citadel that we imagined
Can't climb inside
It floats like airport information
I want to drown but i dare not dive
Dire not dive, i dare not dive
You were right
You were right
You were right
You were right
