about

Written somewhere in central North Carolina, at a small festival. It was so hot, and there was an old-time band playing. I think this song adopted its tempo, and maybe a chord change. I was in the middle of a lot of tumult with love, and had found myself in a sort of metaphorical circus, spinning plates and bending over backward to keep my relationship going, but not very consciously; there was a sort of vortex effect. It felt good to sort of get that feeling out and put it into a song. Matthew came up with that awesome drumbeat.

lyrics

Popsicles

I'm 'bout to break
I'm 'bout to break
I'm no valiant teller on a
twang-toothed escape

I sink thunder all around their graves
move the popsicles into the shade
flip two coins into the maker's way
I'm the one for
You

It's a carnival
It's a carnival
I'm the tightrope walker and the
know-it-all

I sink thunder all around their graves
Move the popsicles into the shade
Flip two times and do just what you say
I'm no match for
You

I sink thunder all around their graves
Move the popsicles into the shade
I know every little sound you make
Every bend of
You
