lyrics

A Catholic toll tunes my present life
A Catholic toll warms a severed life
Amid second season strife
I’m seized by this smash up feeling
The sound of trumpet clouds
Their seams bursting loud reports
The rain and its angry cohort
Clamor in the sunflower folds
Near a village off the Adriatic
Keeping time with superficial static

You’re the one pushing me to lose
Hope you’ll help me when I do
Hope you’ll help me when I do
When I do

My happiness is in the airwaves
Hope you’ll breathe it, feel it Sunday
Out in the olive grove
It’ll be our perspiring love
I need you to show me what I’m made of

You’re the one pushing me to lose
I think now that you’d love me to
God help me when I do
When I do

I put my hands to the seam to help them along
A U.V. ray song buzzes and cusses my face
Pushes me deep down, so underground
That I’m out of place
I’m out my shoes, grasping blue

You’re the one pushing me to lose
It’s only sane for you to want me to
Know you’ll be there when I do
Hope you’ll be there when I do
When I do
When I do
