lyrics

(kuru) when I see you
(kuru) I can't stop shaking 
(kuru) try and laugh it off 
(kuru) I cant stop laughing 

With a white fender jazzbass 
you are a panther
digging claws into my back
and with a crooked head,
I am your scarecrow.
Kneeling in the cornfield, 
waiting for you to come back with the flocks 
the crowd and dreadful crows.

I wrote you "Love Song, Not the Cure"
and you accepted,
you never protested, no.
I think you're acting irrational,
you're being an asshole. 

Well, your claims can’t contest
and your books all burn.
Your daddy is rich,
you will never need to work
but you’re demanding respect 
the kind you never give
rolling around in your own shit
like a pink fat pig.

We embrace and we crouch and the spike sinks deeper,
and the claws hook and pull my skin. 
Oh, my back, my back,
my back is wet.
My back is killing me, 
baby i hate the sight of blood. 

(kuru) when I see you
(kuru) I can't stop shaking 
(kuru) try and laugh it off 
(kuru) I cant stop laughing 

I need to take a step back,
to get an aerial view.

Greedy
I'm a greedy bastard
I'm so greedy
I'm a greedy hog!
(Wind blowing inside
it's just a January night)
Do you want everything that you can't have?
Do you want everything in plain sight?

When i see you
I can't stop shaking 
Try and laugh it off 
I cant stop laughing 

I want to stop!

One day after New Years 
alone in a friends high-rise apartment 
You come by later than planned 
wiping your shoes off on the doormat

When it’s gone,
everything looks better than when you held it close. 

When you’re gone,
everything is far from the equator now.

Five years and counting fast
I’m thinner and so is my hair
but the scratches on my back
closed up when you left
taking the doormat.

about

Telyscopes image

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."
