December swallows September snowmen
Somebody told me there's another time
But to get there, you go somewhere
Somewhere over the stairs
They don't have seasons, they don't live for a reason
Everything is painted in the brightest tones
Where they came from, I don't know
But they're telling me to go with them over the stairs
I had the clearest picture, running down the streets in time
Of all these foreign creatures, fighting for me
See it in the sunrise, see it in the sunset
Oh, there's something more here, there's got to be
But we hide it and deny it
Fighting over money and rhyme
So bring me monsters and I will slay them
God, I used to feel like I could fly all the time
Where it's all gone, I don't know
You need to lift before you throw, and anyway you're throwing sand
I have the clearest picture, running down the street all the time
Of angels and their teachers, fighting for me
Yes, there's candles in the bible and I don't need a rival
Everywhere was sound, I never touched the ground
Everywhere I found was so new, so level
They've got the brightest pictures, running down the streets in time
These iridescent creatures, fighting for me
