This is a modern flower
This is a fading dance
This is a bloom of hornets
Behind a pane of glass
Burn me up Indian Summer
Tear me up paper tiger
Tear me up Indian Summer
Burn me up paper tiger
I am a fading flower
I am a modern dance
I am a yellow jacket
Behind a pane of glass
(yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah)

My heart is a pile of leaves underneath the apple tree planted by the dogwood fence
Clarity, un deux trois
Clarity, 1 2 3
You are the mending wall, I am the orchard
Evergreen, un deux trois
Evergreen, 1 2 3
You are the mending wall, I am the orchard

In the midst of the midnight hour
In the grips of the tangled trees
In the bronze of a harvest moon
I swear that all we need is a decent beat.

Hippolyta, Hippolyta!
I'm climbing out the window
Hippolya, I'm wearing my crown of vines
Hippolyta, Hippolyta!
The Queen of New England
Hippolyta, we only come out at night!
Hippolyta, Hippolyta!
I'm climbing out the window
Hippolya, I'm dead and I'm alive
Hippolyta, Hippolyta!
Let's revolution!
Hippolyta, we only come out at night!
Hippolyta, Hippolyta!
I'm climbing out the window
Hippolya, I know all of my lines
Hippolyta, Hippolyta!
The Queen of New England
Hippolyta, we only come out at night!

Clap! Clap! Clap! goes the capital
They're saying "Hey you: get off my cloud!"
Click! Click! Click! goes the metronome
7/8 striped tigers singing "Twist and Shout!"
Q: What's that sound?
A: It goes "Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!"
This is the symmetry of autumn leaves
These are the trees all torn and tattered
This is the symmetry of autumn leaves
This is the only beat that really matters

God bless these brutalist buildings
Give us something new for the underground
God bless these machines for living
Wire these walls for a modern sound
And then you count it out: 1! 2! 3! 4!
The you add it up: 2! 3! 4! 5!
Rip down all of last year's banners
Pick a statue and chip away
Clear space for the witching hour
Wire these walls for the middle-eights
And then you count it out: 1! 2! 3! 4!
The you add it up: 2! 3! 4! 5!
What we are we are: just trying to be alive

The state I'm in is so hard to state
Tonight I only wanna waste away
We only breathe for the middle-eights
We only breathe to reverberate
We are the night owls and it's getting late

I wanna feel the night under my feet
I wanna taste the night on my tongue
I wanna hold the night in my teeth
I wanna hold the night in my lungs
I swear that all we need is a decent beat!
I wanna count the night in 6/8
I wanna dance the night in waltz time
I wanna put the night on my face
I want it to be night at all times!
I swear that all we need is a 1-2-3!

Sew the shards
Your harvest moon
Your heart in bronze
