Horses, wagons, aeroplanes, cars, bathtubs into drains
Smartphones, doorbells, refrigerators, pencils, hens, paper
Skin, hair, watermelons, alligators, volcanos and super freighters
Dust on floors, grease in pores, the food you eat, opened doors
From the mountains to the shoes you bought
Scissor lifts, toys, rocks, grass, asps, planets, tin, magnets
Rabbits, palms, dreams, an ocean of our own air
Quarks, stars, defibrillators, blinds, struts, beaks, shocks
(Nothing in this world’s gonna petrify me, we are repeating)
Tornados, crockpots, kumquats, baseballs, plants both big and small
Oysters, muscles, mirrors, walls, EKG, balloons (We are transmitting)
Cocoons, macadamias, plankton blooms (We are receiving)
Sulfur pools, rivers, ice, steam, patent leather, lice
Well, nothing in this world’s gonna petrify me, we are repeating
(Vacuum cleaners, windows, lights, fans, scales, your smart device)
(Computers, clocks, drones, clones, trees and stalks)
(Moles, trolls, lights at four way stops, spiders) We are transmitting
(Mushrooms, atoms and their colliders) We are receiving
Salmon, pinecones, office dividers, mitochondria, caterpillars
Well, nothing in this world’s gonna petrify me, we are repeating
(Packages left at the door, tin cans, the earth’s core)
(Mustard seeds, turtles, weeds, herds of elk, teeth, you, me)
We’ve been transmitting
(Flocks of birds, forest fires, crispy chicken, bengal tigers)
We’ve been receiving
Jewelry, lumps of coal, things gettin’ pulled into black holes
Horses, wagons, aeroplanes, cars, bathtubs into drains
But some things aren’t visible
But some things aren’t visible
Like yesterday, beams of light, cellphone calls (And tomorrow)
Like yesterday, beams of light, cellphone calls (And tomorrow)
No, some things aren’t visible
No, some things aren’t visible
Beams of light, breath and wind, yesterday (And tomorrow)
No, some things aren’t visible
Vacuum cleaners, windows, lights, fans, scales, your smart device
Computers, clocks, drones, clones, trees and stalks
Moles, trolls, lights at four way stops, spiders
Mushrooms, atoms and their colliders
Nothing in this world’s gonna petrify me, we are repeating
(Packages left at the door, tin cans, the earth’s core)
Always vibrating
(Mustard seeds, turtles, weeds, herds of elk, teeth, you, me)
We are transmitting
(Flocks of birds, forest fires, crispy chicken, bengal tigers)
Nothing in this world’s gonna petrify me, we are repeating
(Horses, wagons, aeroplanes, cars, bathtubs into drains)
We are transmitting
(Cocoons, macadamias, plankton blooms)
We are receiving
(Sulfur pools, rivers, ice, steam, patent leather, lice)
Well, nothing in this world’s gonna petrify me, we are repeating
(Vacuum cleaners, windows, lights, fans, scales, your smart device)
(Computers, clocks, drones, clones, trees and stalks)
(Moles, trolls, lights at four way stops, spiders) We are transmitting
Mushrooms, atoms and their colliders
We are receiving
Salmon, pinecones, office dividers, mitochondria, caterpillars
Well, nothing in this world’s gonna petrify me, we are repeating

We’ve been transmitting
(Flocks of birds, forest fires, crispy chicken, bengal tigers)
We’ve been receiving
Jewelry, lumps of coal, things gettin’ pulled into black holes
Horses, wagons, aeroplanes, cars, bathtubs into drains
But some things aren’t visible
But some things aren’t visible
Like yesterday, beams of light, cellphone calls (And tomorrow)
Like yesterday, beams of light, cellphone calls (And tomorrow)
Some things aren’t visible
No some things aren’t visible
Beams of light, breath and wind, yesterday (And tomorrow)
Some things aren’t visible
