lyrics

Mata wasn’t pretty and she knew it well

she didn't leave home before the city slept

and out of the storm drain she crawled like a slug

keeping her anxieties and Ativan with her


when I came along you were lying in the gutter

struck by a car, convulsing in a puddle of your blood

and every week that summer lasts
And every month that summer softens
And every year that summer comes again,
but I haven’t set foot through that doorway or heard your voice
(Mata mata)
But I am still singing in the breezeway every night
And I am sitting on the edge your bed, singing "mata mata
mata mata"

Sing out a tune and I’ll hum along
Whisper a secret and I will listen

Sing out a tune and I’ll hum along
Ask me to leave and

...

Ugly boy in storefront window

Bicycle shop and one bright orange cone

Lancaster was a lonely waitress 
who kept talking and wouldn’t let us
leave me alone I don't need you scrutinizing me down to the amount of sugar packets in my tea
Hold you under the faucet until your face is gargling blue and green: 
one eye becomes truth, the other eye God.


mating cry of an exotic bird*

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."
