The Order of the Night Moose

from Radio Free Conspiracy Theory by Mississippi Bones

/

lyrics

Don't hang up the phone.
They might be listening.
Are you alone?
My location has been comprised.
We don't have much time.
They'll come for you at night.
It may be violent, it may be quiet.
I'm afraid it's too late.
They may already be outside.
Resistance could be futile.
And in the desert
Where sands have shifted
The sentry waits for the illuminated.
The antlers unfold and cast a shadow.
Around the embers, the salted circle.
That trotting moose, it moves at such furious speeds.
The eye ever unblinking.
Riddle and rhyme. Riddle and rhyme.
Like a modern day Prometheus bringing you
Light under cover of night.
And as chanted words mingle like crossword puzzles
The vultures pick at your bones.
Under the airport you'll find the markings.
The fires burned out but its light’s still shining.
The antlers unfold and cast a shadow.
Around the embers the salted circle.
Those field mice turn and flee at such furious speeds
But the owls are always watching.
Hey hey what did you say?
The office in Orford has competitive pay.
Hey now, what did you hear?
They might be expanding early next year.
