Dream at Tempo 119

I stumbled upon a song by the Silversun Pickups that I had not previously heard in a Billabong Surf video. It was so awesome I felt a need to mention it here. It's called "Dream at Tempo 119", I've included the lyrics below, but all I can say is if you haven't heard it, do, it's awesome.

It should be getting air play. I don't know why it's not, but go to SilverSun Pickups Myspace Page, there is a player on the right side; click in it, and scroll down to Dream at Tempo 119 and listen to it.

Dream at Tempo 119

I took my seat and stared, at the cardboard screen while no one cared.
While the lights stayed on, the familiar buzz was now long gone.
I just waited there, as the music soared into the air.
As the lights went down, she said don't open your eyes.

At tempo 119, they took to the crowd and aimed towards me.
As the circle closed, I held onto the one with splintered clothes.
Twenty years before, she said don't open your eyes and you can swim.
All my friends ignored, she said don't open your eyes.

Don’t open your eyes, and said goodnight.
Don't open your eyes, and said goodnight.

I couldn't end it there, as her wooden bones grew through her skin.
Crumbled naturally, as her limbs and leaves had broken free.
Twenty years before, she said don't open your eyes and you can swim.
Wanted nothing more, she said don't open your eyes.

Don’t open your eyes, and said goodnight.
Don't open your eyes, and said goodnight.
