Artist/Band: The Shins
Lyrics for Song: The Past And Pending
Lyrics for Album: Oh, Inverted World [2001]



As someone sets light to the first fire of autumn

We settle down to cut ourselves apart

Cough and twitch from the news on your face

And some foreign candle burning in your eyes



Held to the past too aware of the pending

Chill as the dawn breaks and finds us up for sale

Enter the fog another low road descending

Away from the cold lust, your house and summertime



Blind to the last curse of the fair pistols and the countless eyes

A trail of white blood betrays the reckless route your craft is running

Feed till the sun turns into wood dousing an ancient torch

Loiter the whole day through and lose yourself in lines dissecting love



You name on my cast and my notes on your stay

Offer me little but doting on a crime

We've turned every stone and for all our inventions

In matters of love loss, we've no recourse at all



Blind to the last course of the fair pistols and the countless eyes

A trail of white blood betrays the reckless route your craft is running

Feed till the sun turns into wood dousing an ancient torch

Loiter the whole day through and lose yourself in lines dissecting love
