tinkers - Heard Lyrics

Somebody caught it
A flash in mid-July
Where she had landed
When she split from the sky

Left us stony on tablets
If it's steady we rely
We keep raising the prophet/profit
But I fear he's fallen behind

You just doze in the taxi
And save your teeth up in a jar
Checking pennies and rearviews
Until they shutter the bar

But I heard he went elemental
His skyward eyes were vaguely blue
Yeah, over lunch providential
He cut it short just like you

A stranger sat in your front seat
The brakes were failing right behind
With all this offered before me
How could they say I'd survive
