Venetian Blind Man (Song) Lyrics

Squints out of his window, he don't want to see

Venetian blind man, no one else to be

Talleyrand forces come down from high ground

Looks up at high horses, "Well, we're safe for now," and he says,

"Oh woah woah. It's only an omen.

Oh woah woah. Stay in the moment."

Private walls close in and cup their ears now

Trust us we've got ways to make them talk

I've read the writing

How do these things lock?

String on his finger, a tourniquet ring

Venetian blind man, memory loaded on springs

Forward's behind him in the future that sneaks up

Keepers become finders

What's worth weeping over's worth taking

Oh woah woah, sky is falling

Oh woah woah, catch or it all ends

Lord knows I've said awful things 'round this house

They echo through the frame and six feet down

What killed the dead end?

Burn it to the ground.

Oh woah woah, lose out or give out

Oh woah woah, give up or live down

Oh woah woah, nobody chose it

Oh woah woah, nobody knows it

Better than I do

Feet, don't fail me now the ways my eyes did

Mind, don't snap and heart, don't break, not now

No, not like this

Any but this breakdown

Venetian blind man

Venetian blind man

Venetian blind man

Venetian blind man
