Silver Jews My Pillow Is The Threshold Lyrics

I take decaf coffee
Two sugars and one cream
I don't see the use in staying up just to watch TV

I unplug all the neon
Turn the ringer off the phone
Throw my thoughts like tomahawks
Into this world which I disown

Because the pillow that I dream on
Is the threshold of a kingdom
Is the threshold of a world where I'm with you

It's a dark and snowy secret
And it has to do with heaven
And what looks like sleep is really hot pursuit

I hold your picture in my mind
It makes me warm when I am cold
Gets me up and it makes me walk
It makes me question what I'm told

Somewhere in a foggy atlas
Lookout Mountain, Lookout Sea
First life takes time then time takes life
Now the next move's up to me

Because the pillow that I dream on
Leads to some fantastic glory
It's the threshold of a world I can't ignore

Like time unspoiled from heaven
Did you find me sleeping in your doorway
Now I'm here for good
I won't leave you anymore
