lyrics

The spring is in the streets again
And too many seasons gone by
We move to cruise and stare at ourselves
Hoping to find
Someone half blind
somebody who
will make us new
to hold in the night
guard us from fright
change all that's gone for the new

While in our very city
there lives a unicorn of old
The Queen that holds the unicorn
Will be reborn
his mighty horn
falls on that day
storms pass away
night turns to day
the whole world is gay
Angels descend from the sky

The trucks are cold and barren again
and the numbers
have all turned to jade
I search for a way
To tear out my eyes
so I won't see
the dying tree
fall to it's knees
And as it must
with fragments of lust
return to dust
then we are gone in the night

While in our very city
there lives a real life unicorn
the queen who captures the unicorn
Is virgin again
just touching it's hand
wisdom is hers
focus from blurs
posessing the key
brings life to the tree
and makes it grow taller again

The sanctuary's crowded again
the poisons are all passed around
Each star walks in
we turn to the door
our eyes leave our head
the zombies are dead
just walking around
held to the grown
our feet are bound
obeying each sound
waiting to meet god knows who

Tele Novella image

Tele Novella Austin, Texas

Tele Novella is a project out of Lockhart, Texas--a small town lost in time---where their classic and sincere pop songwriting is slowly processed through a loner medieval-tonk machine and then captured on cassette 8-track. Their latest record, Poet's Tooth, steers the duo’s whimsical western-tinted balladry in fascinating new directions. It's out now on Kill Rock Stars. ... more
