Almanac Lyrics
On the Rio,
Rode the sparrow,
Drank the marrow,
Spade the clerics
I spent all day Saturday toasted,
Roasting in your room
Fall fine,
Skin tight,
Unhinged and it sizzled.
Call back
To the almanac
A tall branch is admissions.
Its so slow, lofty riser
Slow down baby it will come
Goin for a homerun
Slow, lofty riser.
Slow down baby it will come
You're goin for a homerun
You can't live with it.
When you wreck it and run.
Do what you can.
All night,
It's on right,
So fresh that it sizzles.
Ball cap,
Almanac
So dim it's a little.
Small life,
Some waxed,
Body's cracked as it wasn't enough.
It's so slow, lofty riser
Slow down baby it will come
Goin for the homerun.
Slow down lofty riser
Well now slow down baby it will come
So it for the soft ground.
Shed skin, for kin.
I'll be alive when all this is over.
When all of us are sober.
Shed skin, with kin.
I could lead you over,
I'll see you in the clover darling.
I'll be here, dancin on your footsteps,
Out here in the beach house, out here in the cold air.
Shed skin, like a master.
And your pastor is comin down to the ground
Rode the sparrow,
Drank the marrow,
Spade the clerics
Roasting in your room
Skin tight,
Unhinged and it sizzled.
Call back
To the almanac
A tall branch is admissions.
Slow down baby it will come
Goin for a homerun
Slow, lofty riser.
Slow down baby it will come
You're goin for a homerun
You can't live with it.
When you wreck it and run.
Do what you can.
It's on right,
So fresh that it sizzles.
Ball cap,
Almanac
So dim it's a little.
Some waxed,
Body's cracked as it wasn't enough.
Slow down baby it will come
Goin for the homerun.
Slow down lofty riser
Well now slow down baby it will come
So it for the soft ground.
I'll be alive when all this is over.
When all of us are sober.
Shed skin, with kin.
I could lead you over,
I'll see you in the clover darling.
I'll be here, dancin on your footsteps,
Out here in the beach house, out here in the cold air.
Shed skin, like a master.
And your pastor is comin down to the ground

This may be the best song I've heard all year. This year has been filled with good music, every year brilliant albums come out and that makes me so happy.. People who say that nowadays there's no good music have no idea what they're talking about
I heard much of this differently. there is definitely a lot of baseball imagery in the lyrics -- someone who knows baseball would do a better job than me! i'm probably missing some easy references. here is my stab at it:
On the Rio, Rode the sparrow, Drank the marrow, Spade the clerics
I spent all day Saturday toasted, Roasting in your room
Fall fight, Skin tight, Unhinged and sizzling. Call back, To the almanac Tall branches and missions.
Slow, lofty rise up. Slow down baby it'll come, Goin' for a homerun. Slow, lofty rise up. Slow down baby you'll come in. You're goin' for a homerun. You can't live with it. Where you wreck it and run. Do what you can (?)
All night, It's on right, So fresh that it sizzles. Ball cap, Almanac, So dim it's a riddle.
Small light, Some wax (?) Ball's cracked as it wasn't enough.
Slow lofty rise up Slow down baby it will come. Goin' for the homerun. Slow lofty rise up, Well now sooner baby you will come in. Soarin' for a soft glove.
Shed skin, for kin. I'll be alive when all this is over. When all of us are sober. Shed skin, with kin. I could lead you over, I'll see you in the clover darling. I'll be dancin' on your footsteps, Out here on the beach house (?), out here on the cold outfield. Shed skin, like a master. Comin' faster, it's comin down.(?)
