Temazcal Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Putting on my power, righteous as a rose
Dynamite the mountain, now I'm walking up the road, oh
Love we made at gunpoint wasn't love at all (love at all)
They’re dancing in the valley, the moon's the mirror ball

[Verse 2]
Blew open my mind, now it's an empty room
Swinging in the hammock, dogs are walking ‘cross the roof (ah)
I watch you braid your hair, you're from another time (another time)
When the earth wasn't so angry, and God was on our side

[Chorus]
Searching west and east
All points in between
Underneath the lines of thought
You're there and then you're not

[Verse 3]
The Mayans stole tomorrow, hid it underground
They comb with heavy magnets but it still hasn't been found, oh
I'm sweating out my secrets in the temazcal
They're screaming in the calle that a star’s about to fall

[Chorus]
Looking through the trees
Cities and the seas
Things we've seen
OVNIs on the lawn
They're there and then they're gone

[Bridge]
There and then they're gone
There and then they're gone
There and then they're gone
There and then they're gone
There and then they're gone
There and then they're gone
There and then they're gone
There and then they're gone

[Chorus]
Searching west and east
All points in between
And underneath the Hand of God
You're there and then you're not
You’re there and then you’re not
