Dance Of The Clairvoyants - Live

I see ya

Confusion is to commotion
What love is to our devotion
Imperceptibly big, big as the ocean
Equally hard to control

So save your predictions and burn your assumptions
Love is friction, ripe for comfort
Endless equations and tugging persuasions
Doors open up to interpretation

Expecting perfection
Leaves a lot to ignore
When the past is the present and the future's no more
When every tomorrow is the same as before

The looser things get, the tighter you become
The looser things get, tighter
There's not one man that's greater than the sun
That's not a negative thought, I'm positive, positive, positive

Falling down, not staying down
Coulda held me up, coulda held me up
Drowning down in the river

Expecting perfection
Leaves a lot to ignore
When the past is the present and the future's no more
When every tomorrow is the same as before

Numbers keep falling off the calendar's floor
We're stuck in our boxes, windows open no more
Collecting up the forget-me-nots
Not recalling what they're for
I'm in love with clairvoyants 'cause they're out of this world

I know the girls wanna dance
Away their circumstance
I know the boys wanna grow
Their dicks and fix and fire things

I know the girls wanna dance
Clairvoyants in a trance
I know the boys wanna grow
What? Their dicks and fix and fire things

Stand back when the spirit comes
Stand back when the spirit comes
Stand back when the spirit comes
Stand back

Stand back when the spirit comes
Stand back when the spirit comes
Stand back when the spirit comes
Stand back

Stand back when the spirit comes
Stand back when the spirit comes
Stand back when the spirit comes
Stand back

Stand back when the spirit comes (different)
Stand back when the spirit comes
Stand back when the spirit comes (drown in the river)
Stand back

Stand back when the spirit comes (different)
Stand back when the spirit comes
Stand back when the spirit comes (drown in the river)
Stand back

I know the girls wanna dance
Away their circumstance
I know the boys wanna grow
Their dicks and fix and fire things (drown in the river)

I know the girls wanna dance
Clairvoyants in a trance
I know the boys wanna grow
Their dicks and fix and fire things
Their dicks and fix and fire things

Stand back when the spirit comes
Stand back when the spirit comes
Stand back when the spirit comes
Stand back

Stand back when the spirit comes
Stand back when the spirit comes
Stand back when the spirit comes
Drown in the river

Thank you
And this is a-
This next song is about having to leaving this planet
To find another planet because fucked this one up
And it's a story of pure science fiction because you know we'll never find another place like this
So let's save what we have, rather than think about some bizzare fuckin' future
That will only apply to the riches for the rich, ETC, ETC

But I would like to dedicate it to the Surfrider Foundation and all the work that they do to protect our oceans and our beaches
And allow people like me and Taylor Hawkins
We each got our first waves when we were about 11 or 12
Right out there and it looks the same as it ever was
