lyrics

Powder your face and pinch your cheeks before the dance
Death trimmed in black before you, holding out his hands
White toothy promise of desire drank you blind
Snake in the grass under your bare feet, whistle-blowers watched in disbelief

Come alive
Glowing bright
Like Tabby's star he will
Make out like a bandit in the night

Sleep by your bedside I am holding back the waves
Stand in the cellar I am holding up your grave
With one eye closed and one wide open all the time
So busy singing, you never heard the warning tune and now your noose is tied

Come alive
Glowing bright
Like Tabby's star he will
Vanish like a sunbeam in the dusk before you wake

Out with the old
In with the new
Step after step, you're right on cue
Out with the old
In with the new
Clue after clue: clues only prove that you never really had a clue
Out with the old
In with the new
Vow after vow, you say I do

Come alive
Glowing bright
Like Tabby's star he will
Clip your wings and leave you for the worms
Nails through the wrist of hallow bones
Hannah, your voice is now a ghost.

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."
