Be Nimble

from Pander by Telyscopes

/

lyrics

Plans never pan out how you planned them,
and fans want the same or just complain.
I could live like i'm twenty-two for the rest of my life,
and make three by three again and again.

Hold me up to the candle,
hold my hand over flame.
Jack be nimble,
predictable.

Complain how all you do is complain,
you lay around and jerk off all day.
I'd rather drink bleach than microwave freezerburnt dreams,
in a tizzy, in the darkest pit
where I crawled out as a locust
and set fire to the earth.
Sired by the beast i worship,
he writes my name,
and spells it with a Y

He spells it with a Y

Silence,
the room is electric
and snowflakes are still in her hair
I’m mixing my words and drinks in the kitchen sink
My tongue is tied around my feet
and i slip
like brakes screech and echo
between row-homes and through walls.
Astonishing how we tried so hard,
and so it falls

"and so it was that later
as the miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghosty
turned a whiter shade of pale"

We tried so hard, and so it falls,
we all became our folks
we all became our folks

about

Telyscopes Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

"Since 2012, Telyscopes has molted through one reinvention after another--shedding layers of lo-fi psychedelia, chamber pop, jazz, and electronica like cocoons as the project grows more legs, prettier wings, or sharper mandibles. The lifeblood remains the same: offbeat lyrics and striking melodies. Often ingenious--never typical."
