A song I transcribed against my better judgement, the vocals on “There Was A Flood” are covered with distortion and effects, and often heavily buried in the mix. As such, this transcription is more of a spirited effort on my behalf to figure out what Fred is on about (further hindered by the impress...
All of the children are waking the wizard with
The rockiest stems ever seen
All of the cars on the highways agree
Handing out needles with the pin pointed at me
Houses' hands crumbling, avenues running by
Dogs with the graveyards of teeth
Arrows of light shining out from beneath
Bury the sun and look down to the sea
And wait for the sky lines!
Keep giving sound to the world
But marry the old words!
To the ill wind!
I could have showed you that words are exposure
I'm hungry and I married a fool
But all of the language that limits the queue
It wasn't a language that made it for real
Open old windows and throw the invisible
Lines that you communicate briefs
It's like an animal raw when you tell them to beat it
She opened the gates and it leapt down the street
It echoes the sky lines!
Where were the wrong ways!
There was a flood, a flood
And it became 'cross the night all at once
All of the nature and moonshine and love
And of the amethyst ready to blow
There was a flood, a flood
All of the [?] lost their [?]
Like a four leaf frog with a gun
Don't let them run!
Slow boat I'm sinking
A song for your thinning awareness of sleep carries me
Out in the day, packed like bars, run into
Into a dream about you old and new
Hearing a song all the way burning harmony
Slow, it gets slow as you breathe
'Til I forget and ask people to leave
I turned into paper and hang on the breeze
