lirik lagu tiny glowing screens pt. 1, 2 & 3 – live – watsky

[spoken: watsky]
you guys came very close but i did not touch the ground
that was like, like the worlds losest trampoline
if you are alive, if you have blood pumping through your veins and capillaries los angeles, take your arms and raise them to the sky and rock with us one last time

part 1:
[chorus: camilla recchio]
and when the sun burns out
we’ll light the world with tiny glowing screens
tiny glowing screens, glowing screens
and when the sun burns out
we’ll light the world with tiny glowing screens
tiny glowing screens

[verse 1]
i’ve seen a person go to shows and raise a lighter app
but if you’re at my concert please don’t ever try that cr-p
let’s set fire to the heavens
turn the motherf-cking speakers to 11, this is spinal tap
the future might defeat me, the internet can eat me
it really tastes like chicken when i bite the hand that feeds me
and i say me me, me me, play my cd, cd
yes indeedy deedy
we be greedy and it’s tragic that we yawn
we got every gadget but don’t care there’s magic in our palm
‘cause it’s been getting so hot, i can feel the slow rot
but let’s not die before we get to f-ck a robot
because we all need something to live for, something to live for, something to live for
we all need something to live for, something to live for

[chorus: camilla recchio]
and when the sun burns out
we’ll light the world with tiny glowing screens
tiny glowing screens, glowing screens
and when the sun burns out
we’ll light the world with tiny glowing screens
tiny glowing screens

[verse 2: daye jack]
(needs transcription)

[bridge]
are we useless?
no excuses
we took the peace sign, reduced it to deuces
are we useless?
no excuses
we took the peace sign, reduced it to deuces
we took the peace sign, reduced it to deuces
so raise your peace sign, if you’re not useless
raise your peace sign, no excuses
we took the peace sign, reduced it to deuces

part 2:
[verse]
there’s 7 billion 46 million people on the planet
and most of us have the audacity to think we matter
hey, you hear the one about the comedian who croaked?
someone stabbed him in the heart, just a little poke
but he keeled over ‘cause he went into battle wearing chain mail made of jokes
hey, you hear the one about the screenwriter who p-ssed away?
he was giving elevator pitches and the elevator got stuck halfway
he ended up eating smushed sandwiches they pushed through a crack in the door
and repeating the same cr-ppy screenplay idea about talking dogs ’til his last day
hey, you hear the one about the fisherman who p-ssed?
he didn’t jump off that ledge
he just stepped out into the air and pulled the ground up towards him really fast
like he was pitching a line and went fishing for concrete
the earth is a drum and he’s hitting it on beat
the reason there’s smog in los angeles is ‘cause if we could see the stars
if we could see the context of the universe in which we exist
and we could see how small each one of us is
against the vastness of what we don’t know
no one would ever audition for a mcdonalds commercial again
and then where would we be?
no frozen dinners and no tv
and is that a world we want to text in?
either someone just microwaved popcorn
or i hear the sound of a thousand people pulling their heads out of their -sses in rapid succession
the people are hunched over in boston
they’re starting app stores and screen printing companies in san francisco
they’re grinning in los angeles like they’ve got fishhooks in the corners of their mouth
but don’t paint me like the good guy ‘cause every time i write
i get to choose the angle that you view me and select the nicest light
you wouldn’t respect me if you heard the typewriter chatter tap tap
tapping through my mind at night
the same stupid tape loop of old sitcom dialogue
and tattered memories of a girl i got to grind on in high school
filed carefully on rice paper
my heart is a colored pencil
but my brain is an eraser
i don’t want a real girl, i want to trace her from a catalogue
truth be told i’m unlikely to hold you down
cause my soul is a crowded subway train
and people keep deciding to get on the next one that rolls through town
i’m joining a false movement in san francisco
i’m frowning and hunched over in boston
i’m smiling in los angeles like i’ve got fishhooks in the corners of my mouth
and i’m celebrating on weekends
because there are 7 billion 47 million people on the planet
and i have the audacity to think i matter
i know it’s a lie but i prefer it to the alternative
because i’ve got a tourniquet tied at my elbow / i’ve got
a blunt wrap filled with compliments and i’m burnin it
you say to go to sleep but i been bouncing off my bedroom walls since i was hecka small
we’re every age at once and tucked inside ourselves like russian nesting dolls
my mother is an 8 year old girl
my grandson is a 74 year old retiree whose kidneys just failed
and that’s the glue between me and you
that’s the screws and nails
we live in a house made of each other
and if that sounds strange that’s because it is
someone please freeze time so i can run around turning everyone’s pockets inside out
and remember…
you didn’t see sh-t

part 3:
[intro]
nothing matters, so it doesn’t matter if nothing matters
and while you be, be true
and if you won’t, f-ck you
burn your clothes
open the wine
close your eyes
freeze time

[verse 1: watsky]
you’re officially welcome to grab your crotches
synchronize your watches and pour us a couple scotches
people still as statues can’t catch you, turn pockets empty
if they’re packed with plenty move some to ones lacking any
while i take a crack at hacking the bank to jack em to cover high debts
you’re screening floating bullets with a b-tterfly net, if there’s any screaming
pause it and cut out the sound, deposit the slugs underground
i’m positive that we don’t f-ck around
no we go scooping up the diesel that’s leaking a sinking tanker
forever stuck at anchor like beetles get stuck in amber
halted like the thaw of the iceberg that shoulda sank her
halted right beside the temperature spike and the spread of cancer
and all my peoples’ engagements and babies my friends are making
we quit getting lamer, days quit getting later, life quits being labor, quick—
you should come through to our party, dude bring your crew bring an army
youth is inside of the heart, the future can never harm me
we’re never tardy (freeze, freeze, freeze)
late or early don’t worry we’ll wait cause we’re in no hurry to see those pearly gates
i sit outside and watch the pigeon sh-t and tiny airplanes hanging in the sky and then i
hit a mccartney show and trip off how his arm is superglued to his guitar and then i
enjoy the lovely view and stand there for a month or two, my headphones looping love me do on repeat
paul might not die if we try to wall off this diorama, we’ll buy all the time we want and then spend it all to

move this crowd—to join as converts to the church of blessed concerts and then conjure up some conversation
yes, i’m proud—my country is my heart and so in every combination we all rep a common nation
that is how—i know that all we lepers and we shepherds join together now in holy congregation, everybody
stop right now!

[bridge: camila recchio & watsky]
i want to hear the church bells ring
i want to see the fog roll in
i don’t mind the muddy water
i don’t mind the ocean wind
show me i’m alive right now
even if you gotta pr-ck this skin
open up your eyes
open up your eyes
open up your eyes
open up your eyes

[verse 2]
some days i throw my hands up like this sh-t right here is hopeless
but today i throw my hands up like this sh-t right here’s the dopest
i’ll never sew my family’s holes up saying hocus pocus
so i focus love on what is whole and chase my magnum opus
there’s so much more to life before i leave this skin behind me
right now i’m feeling finer than aaliyah in the 90s
yeah, today i’m feeling firmly like my faith could never burn me
like i’m apt to move that mountain just by glaring at it sternly
san francisco used to seem bigger than jupiter
from the view of an atom the human body’s a universe
how impossibly big it be, this symmetry
this brutality, and beauty and synergy
and beyond what we’ll live to see, i know nothing can limit me
just take everything ever and we are that times infinity
