lyrics

Shadow on the street
Body in the world we made
My body is a sundial blade

Remember all the names
We used to call things when the autumn sun shone
Where have all the autumn words gone

I was never any good at this
Don't know how to be a pragamatist
Don't know how to fall apart
The rain is pouring through the roof
Can I catch in a pan
Can I catch it with my hands

You'd miss it if you blink
In a room a crowd assembles
Voice of a scientist trembles

Knuckles in the dark
In the capital a hood and flag
In the video a white bear staggering

October is too warm
Jumper wrapped around my hips like
the idea of a child
