It's Complicated Being A Wizard Lyrics

Try and always find you
Where sheep's shed friendly information
Slowly spout back, sifting
Through patient air their
Legs are bending
Back to find the roots where
Offer only explanations
We will only take what
Hands and backs and legs can carry
Out of here

Someday we'll find a home
(I found the way out)
Someday we'll find a lonely, lonely home
(But if I told you, you'd be down)
We're they bring the change
Lips like holes
Pouring our feelings

Roar and flow the bows
That won't control the homes
To open in the pockets
Steps that never move

Children came
and found or secret lair
Your move

Lengths of snakes match each silent syllable
"With eyes like these"
Hello? You missed the speller's mark
The breath of rockets shone like torches

Hustle got a bog
And the people never listen
The leaves are full of cracks
Pass partly seasonal boats
Autumn made a fictional film on the eyes
Doctors stand they'll never form are never seen again

Back to the well
The acrobats spinning round
The head's in the bay
Stepping in close to that door
Into the shore
Feelings and pains
Plans slip them back into
behind the view
The place seen up through that door
It's in the door
Back through they go
They're going past the
port on his mouth dripping shame
They find eyes that flow through that door
It's in the door
Ripples and tides
Bowing for seconds
Moon crowning games
The leeches to get through that door
It's in the door

Always, always
Always, always
all alone
And they said
Always, always
Always, always
all alone
And they said

I found the way out
But if I told you, you'd be down
And I hate to get you down
when you're up so high

Track 'em in
Fine recedes you're sure to do

Children come in
Found our secret lair
Your move
Track 'em in
Fine recedes you're sure to do

Lengths of snakes damage each silent syllable
"With eyes like these"
Hello? You missed the speller's mark
The breath of rockets shone like torches

Here's the complete lyrics, according to the insert that came with my vinyl copy. [Note: The written lyrics usually differ slightly from the performed lyrics when it comes to P.TM (a few words removed for rhythm's sake, etc.), so this won't be exactly what the song says, but it's all here. The lyrics are presented with the format and punctuation (or lack thereof) given on the actual album.]

Giants always find you where sheep share friendly information while slowly south bound sifting through patient air their legs are bending back to find the roots where we offered only explanations because we will only take what hands and backs and legs can carry out of here

someday we'll find a home, someday we'll find a lonely lonely home where we'll pass time where we'll bring change, where we'll be change (i found the way out, but if i told you you'd be down) Lips likely loose and pouring out film lines A roaring flow abounds a warmth and joy that holds you open and apart in steps that never move So children come in find a seat we made your room/you're sure to use Ohhhhhhhh... Hello. You missed the sparrow's mark...A breath of rockets shone like torches. Boss we got a problem the people will not listen their ears are full of cranks, bells, pulley's, wheels, and bolts Automated fiction with film on the eyes and the doctors claim they'll never form, you'll never see again lengths of snakes match each silent syllable Hello. You missed the sparrow's mark...A breath of rockets shone like torches. (I found the way out) So children come in find a seat we made your room/you're sure to use Ohhhhhhhh... A roaring flow abounds a warmth and joy that holds you open and apart in steps that never move

Back to the world, the acrobats spinning around with his head in the bay, stepping in close to that door Shivers in pain, his mind slipping back in to behind his view a place he made through that door back filling gold and colors that poured from his mouth dripping shame found as the flowed through that door comforts in time that pull and push against the moon climbing games that reach us to get through that door Now back to the world, the acrobats spinning around their heads in the bay all the way back to that door It's in the door

Where its always, always for the lord/law Just what percent is left? Money or mind? You see I found out where the money is...it's all in lies...

I found the way out. But. If I told you you'd be down. And I hate to get you down when you're up so high....So high. Children come in, find a seat you're sure to do. lengths of snakes, they match each silent syllable Hello. You missed the sparrow's mark...A breath of rockets shone like torches. So children come in find a seat we made your room/you're sure to use Ohhhhhhhh... A roaring flow abounds a warmth and joy that holds you open and apart in steps that never move

Where they bring the change Where they bring the change Lips likely holes; pouring out feelings Lips likely holes; pouring out feelings

Lengths of snakes match each silent syllable With eyes like these, hello? You missed the sparrows mark A breath of rockets shone like torches A breath of rockets shone like torches

Hustle got a bog, and the people never listen The leaves are full of cracks; pass partly season boats Automated fiction, a film on the eyes Doctor's stand: they'll never form and never seen again

Love this song/EP. I love how so many of these songs ended up becoming parts of songs on Waiter: "You Vultures!" Like How the Leopard Got Its Spots and Tommy. Great stuff. If someone writes the biography of this band they should call it "Wizards and Waiters." :P

Waiter: "You Vultures!" came out before this did.
