[Verse 1: Andrew Bird, Andrew Bird & Phoebe Bridgers]
I felt a funeral in my brain
And mourners to and fro
Treading, treading 'til it seemed
That sense was breaking through
And when we all were seated
A service like a drum
Beating, beating 'til I thought
My mind was going numb
My mind was growing

[Chorus: Andrew Bird & Phoebe Bridgers]
And then I heard them lift a box
And creak across my soul
With the same boots of lead again
Then space, space began to toll

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2: Phoebe Bridgers, Andrew Bird, Both]
As all the Heavens were a bell
And being but an ear
And I and silence, some strangе race
Wrecked, solitary, hеre
And then a plank in reason broke
And I dropped down and down
And hit a world at every plunge
And finished knowing then
And finished knowing
[Chorus: Andrew Bird & Phoebe Bridgers]
And then I heard them lift a box
And creak across my soul
With the same boots of lead again
Then space, space began to toll

[Outro: Andrew Bird]
I felt a funeral in my brain
And mourners to and fro
Treading, treading 'til it seemed
That sense was breaking through
