lyrics

Now that you're twenty-one
brandish that shotgun 
Good sons marry too fast while 
spring-fever-dreams sneak past

But even virgins get old 
can't hide away from home
on a slip-n-slide downhill 
drinking 'till you got scales and gills

down in moonlit gully, 
something ahead catches reflecting light:

Out on a lake of tears, rise 
rows of tiptoed swans
Who wear's black to a wedding? 
Feathered and tarred 
Spinning, spinning 

Crusty eyelids blink sun 
shake and rattle the ibuprofen 
Was the headache worth a short eclipse  
from all those nagging decisions?  
Longer you try and hide
more Friday nights just roll by

All those rosy faces you used to see 
like hyenas laughing up acacia trees 
are clean shaven silhouettes 
standing at your side, under a crucifix  

Jump in that lake of slime with your 
lover in your arms 
I'll wear black to your wedding
and smile as you drown

Spinning, spinning 
Spinning, spinning 

Spinning, spinning 
Spinning, spinning

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."
