Firewall (Companion Version)

[Verse 1]
I do my best to sleep through the caterwaul
The classicists, the posturing avant-garde
I bought a gray macaw, named him Jules Verne
He'll probably outlive me, he's a bright bird
Keeps me company, I teach him new words

[Verse 2]
I saw a hologram at the theme park
She looked as real as me through the white fog
Then she melted down to her ankles
Turned into a million-watt candle
If I knew where she went, I would follow

[Verse 3]
Walking through the land of tomorrow
Martian trinkets, plastic Apollos
In the sunshinе, try to act normal
My veins are full of flat cherry cola
Slеpt on a bench by the rollercoaster

[Refrain]
Dreamt I was riding on a motorbike
Lion of Judah painted on the side

[Verse 4]
I'm doing fine, I'm back in the Palisades
Life's a wash, a pastoral school play
China shops and cold ivory towers
I and I make toast to the Caesars
Forcing down the dregs of Decembers

[Verse 5]
Madeline, she spins in a slow bang
All through the house, the strong smell of burnt sage
Let's make it clean and run out the spirits
I know a diving bell when I hear it
We're going down now under the surface

[Verse 6]
Light to dark can shift in an instant
Feeling close but keeping my distance
On all fours she's just so insistent
Fills my mind with jump-ropes and slit wrists
Bust through the firewall into Heaven

[Refrain]
Then I'm standing in that blinding light
Crooked crosses falling from the sky

[Outro]
Seen and seen by I and I
Seen and seen by I and I
Seen and seen by I and I
Seen and seen by I and I
Seen, yeah, seen, yeah
Seen, yeah, seen, yeah
Seen, yeah, seen by I and I
Seen, yeah, seen, yeah
Seen, yeah, seen, yeah
Seen, yeah, seen by I and I and I
