lyrics

The guard rail a mangled, tangled mess
like it was chewed up and spit back out
Every morning the flies swarm her door,
they'll taunt "you're getting longer in the tooth."

Long, now it's been so long

Twenty one years almost to the day
and all the footage was erased.
She nineteen and he thirty two, and now the
last of august has had the last of you.

Too late
I'm too late
I'm out of time
Will you teach me to jump over the flame?
and laugh in the fire and dance in the fire while the flame rises

I was running late, now I am early to die
The smell of rubber and black smoke pours out
Young and supple, unmarked by time
Bloody hands still grip the wheel

Long,
now it's been so long
Long,
all my teeth are long

Royal blood is laughing at you,
and all of Wales is sobbing for you,
they're leaving flowers at Kensington square just for you, and
no one knows what the hell to do.
Too late
I'm too late
I'm out of time
Too late
I'm too late
I'm out of time
Will you teach me how to jump over the flame?
and laugh in the fire and dance in the fire?
While the flame rises higher
and rises higher and rises higher

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."
