T.V. on the Radio: Family Tree


Beautiful song by T.V. on the Radio... Listen here.

The album is Dear Science. Listen to it here.

Anda my love
Wake up to your window
The day calls in billows
It's echoing moonlight onto the blue nightmare of your heart.
In cosy red rainbow.
It's shaking off halos.
And the memory of our sacred so and so...

Oh take my hand sweet,
Complete your release, unbury your feet.
And married we'll be.
Alone in receiving ours is a feeling not that they would see.
They don't know that we could be.
Down where your cradle escaped the sea.
And your raven haired Mama caught told you so's.

Were hanging in the shadow of your family tree.
Your haunted heart and me.
Brought down by an old idea whose time has come.
And in the shadow of the gallows of your family tree,
There's a hundred hearts or three.
Pumping blood to the roots of evil to keep them young.

Ah me all mine.
Is it safe to say that we've waited patiently.
Call me on time.
And recall the tune that has place us gracefully.
All into line.
There's the garden grave and a place they've saved for you.
I'll fall by your side.
Though your silver haired Mama throws told you so's...

Were laying in the shadow of your family tree.
Your haunted heart and me.
Brought down by an old idea whose time has come.
And in the shadow of the gallows of your family tree.
There's a hundred hearts or three.
Pumping blood to the roots of evil to keep it young.

And now we'll gather in the shadow of your family tree...
In haunted harmony.
Brought down by an old idea whose time has come.
And in the shadow of the valley of your family tree.
There's a hundred hearts or three,
Pumping blood to the roots of evil to keep us young...
