Terra Incognita Lyrics
I kept guards and caravans close to me
In case one day I'd need some company
I never looked out towards the wind
i never saw the families gathering around
Holy ghost
Tripled host, I saw
Carry me home
On the backs of beasts that drone
Holy sky
Opened up so wide
Carry me home
Scared me to the bone
Celestial crops carry me home
These ancient technologies strengthen my bones
I know a place called love
No one bothered me there, no I was all alone
Will you join me?
Could you possibly be
The one I sought?
The one I fought for?
A place I'd be
Able to see clearly
The beginning and end
I want to begin
In case one day I'd need some company
I never looked out towards the wind
i never saw the families gathering around
Tripled host, I saw
Carry me home
On the backs of beasts that drone
Opened up so wide
Carry me home
Scared me to the bone
These ancient technologies strengthen my bones
I know a place called love
No one bothered me there, no I was all alone
Could you possibly be
The one I sought?
The one I fought for?
Able to see clearly
The beginning and end
I want to begin

CD linear notes says: "I kept cards and caravans close to me"
sounds like "i never looked south towards the wind"
Bradford - in a recent Interview with Pitchfork - talking about holing up in his hotel room after a grueling Deerhunter tour, and feeling miserable: "I think I wrote 'Terra Incognita' after that experience. That song was written in this real strange, feverish night."
