lyrics

I could never have imagined that

we would end up taking it all so seriously

shaking our heads, dumfounded by

all the ridiculous shit that has overcome us

but we have and we do


and the skies are still blue like an illusion
and the skies are still blue like an illusion.


She was as sharp as a pencil and

always had a way of getting her point across.

When she died at the age of 35 of lead poisoning

it was of little suprise to any of us.

In his eulogy her husband said

between a tear and a wink

that his wife had never gotten a tattoo

because of her disdain for ink.


and the skies are still blue like an illusion
and the skies are still blue like an illusion.


Growing up in the suburbs,

I never did have a neighbor who was a communist

but if I had, I’m sure

that he would have told me that,

more or less

give or take

you’ll never catch a fucking break

by wearing an oven mitt to a baseball game.


and the skies are still blue like an illusion
and the skies are still blue like an illusion.


And the seas are still cluttered by ballons

whose attached language grew too heavy to bare.

And the planets well they never asked to be discovered.

And our toleration for one well has become a bit malnourished don’t ya think.

And our curiosity well, has gotten the best of us

as we push aside the curtain every morning

just to confirm once more


that the skies are still blue like an illusion
and the skies are still blue like an illusion.

The Irrational Library image

The Irrational Library Haarlem, Netherlands

“A halo on a razor edge, a remix of parallel times, the ludicrous sincerity of rhythm keeping the paces of joy and pain in synch. The Irrational Library’s is that score that settles the score for the under-scored.”
