lyrics

Girl with a camera phone is filming her friend
daydreaming in the crowd
tells her to say something she says "oh, I thought you were taking a photograph" while some ultra-violet sunbeams land in their scoops of rum-raisin ice cream

either I wasn't paying attention or I wasn't there
when they decided for me
it all passed over my head and when I went to see the monument
it was already too heavy like a
weight I could not lift or see through
but it would have been nice to

pretty soon they're sad antennas
stuck in a public place
like suns that ought to go down
to make way
for everyone else

it was summertime with all that it's supposed to mean
I got a guided tour
of the student town, the church, the botanical garden and then
as we drove out to a house where Carl Von Linné used to live
for a while
all those flowers were antennas
spreading their pollen out over the fields
the raisins too, they were drowning in a pool
of what used to be ice cream
