lyrics

It started out small and then it started to grow
Like the first commercial break of the late, late show
You woke up at eight and you started to sew
Another scarf for a winter where it’s too warm to snow

Then he formed out of a mountain. He was too tall to see.
He drank up all the water from the West Chester Creek
The creek became a canyon where he’d get some sleep
After lighting up the heart that went dark inside of me

You said you needed proof,
But then he lifted off the roof
And now I think you have your truth

A gap like a hallway in between each tooth
Each nostril big as our living room
Every eyelash could support a noose

We can’t stay much longer
I think we need to go soon

Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

It started out small and then it started to grow
Like the first commercial break of the late, late show
You woke up at eight and you started to sew
Another scarf for a winter where it’s too warm to snow

Sucked the color from the valley, now it’s black and white
Just a long silent movie through the day and night
The giant came down with all his might,
But we were both too tired to put up a fight

We don’t need boxing gloves to hit the road,
But no matter what happens, I want you to know…
Well, I don’t know. We just need to go.
‘Cause if we don’t,
I’m gonna…
I wanna…

Jesus, let me explode
