Numbers and Lines (Live at Lucky Run)

from MLC Live 2 by Mystery Loves Company

/

lyrics

it's the kind of sound that sinks a hole in my head,
it comes around to take a word that you said
and explains the world for me
with numbers and lines that become a sea
of glitter and gold

I tried to lead a life of water and bread,
to leave a light on where the fathers have fed
but instead I have sown the seed,
that spread like a vine 'till it reached the sea,
as others foretold

and it feels right
to begin
for a while
without a single thing in mind that could make the wheels run
the ticking hands
of space and time...

it's Friday night and I'm alone in my bed,
the phony silence of the battery's dead
and the world has come for me
but nothing escapes from this ebbing sea
that has taken control

and it feels right
to begin
for a while
without a single thing in mind that could make the wheels run
the ticking hands
of space and time...

now we've opened up the doors
and now these lines have found the floor
and if you feel like you're someone else
then join the numbers that hear the sound
and realize that from the same life we all are born

and it feels right
to begin
for a while
without a single thing in mind that could make the wheels run
the ticking hands
of space and time...
