[Verse 1] I kept a moth in a VCR It learned my name in static It fluttered out through winter glass And left the room half tidal The calendar bent in my hand Like soft tin from a spoon I wore a sentence on my tongue And swallowed the afternoon [Pre-Chorus] Say it again Till the floor turns thin Say it again Let the walls cave in [Chorus] Moth in the VCR Moth in the VCR I hear you turning slow Moth in the VCR Moth in the VCR Where did the daylight go? (Where did the daylight go?) [Verse 2] A bowl of pears began to sing In a language made of splinters Your shadow crossed the kitchen tile Like a fox through broken mirrors I found a key inside the rain It fit a door of smoke Behind it, all my unlived lives Were hanging by a coat [Pre-Chorus] Say it again Till the floor turns thin Say it again Let the walls cave in [Chorus] Moth in the VCR Moth in the VCR I hear you turning slow Moth in the VCR Moth in the VCR Where did the daylight go? (Where did the daylight go?) [Bridge] I walked through a field of paper birds They rose like lost receipts A moon hung over the laundromat Spilling silver into sleep If you return as a rumor now I’ll know you by the ache A tiny gold apocalypse Inside a video tape [Final Chorus] Moth in the VCR Moth in the VCR I hear you turning slow Moth in the VCR Moth in the VCR Where did the daylight go? (Where did the daylight go?) Moth in the VCR Moth in the VCR Burning soft and low (Moth in the VCR)
