Lyrics TV on the Radio

TV on the Radio

Staring At The Sun

Cross the street from your storefront cemetery

Hear me hailing from inside and realize I'm

I am the conscience clear in pain or ecstasy

We were all weaned my dear, upon the same fatigue

R:

You're staring at the sun

Oh, my own voice cannot save me now

You're standing in the sea

It's just one more breath and then down I go

Your mouth is open wide, the lover is inside

And all the tumults done collided with the sign

You're staring at the sun, you're standing in the sea

Your body's over me

Note the trees because the dirt is temporary

More to mine than fact face, name and monetary

Beat the skins and let the loose lips kiss you clean

Quietly pour out like light, like light like answering the sun

You're staring at the sun, you're standing in the sea

Your mouth is open wide, you're trying hard to breathe

The water's at your neck, there's lightning in your teeth

Your body's over me

R: (x3)
