Lyrics Transmitting Receiving - Modest Mouse

Horses, wagons, aeroplanes, cars, bathtubs into drains
Smartphones, doorbells, refrigerators, pencils, hens, paper
Skin, hair, watermelons, alligators, volcanos, and super freighters
Dust on floors, grease in pores, the food you eat, opened doors

From mountains to the shoes you bought
Scissor lifts, toys, rocks, grass, asps, planets, tin, magnets
Rabbits, palms, dreams, an ocean of our own air
Quarks, stars, defibrillators, blinds, struts, beaks, shocks

Tornados, crockpots, kumquats, baseballs, plants both big and small
Oysters, muscles, mirrors, walls, EKG, balloons
Cocoons, macadamias, plankton blooms (we are receiving)
Sulfur pools, rivers, icе, steam, patent leathеr, lice

(Nothing in this world′s gonna petrify me, we are repeating)
Moles and trolls, lights at 4 way stops, spiders

Mushrooms, atoms, and their colliders (we are receiving)
Salmon, pinecones, office dividers, mitochondria, caterpillars
Packages left at the door, tin cans, the earth's core
Mustard seeds, turtles, weeds, herds of elk, teeth, you, me

Flocks of birds, forest fires, crispy chicken, Bengal tigers
Jewelry, lumps of coal, things gettin′ pulled into black holes
Horses, wagons, aeroplanes, cars, bathtubs into drains

But some things aren't visible
But some things aren't visible
Like yesterday, beams of light, cellphones calls
And tomorrow
Like yesterday, beams of light, cellphones calls
And tomorrow

No, some things aren′t visible
No, some things aren′t visible
Like beams of light, breath of wind, yesterday
And tomorrow
No, some things aren't visible

Vacuum cleaners, windows, lights, fans, scales, your smart device
Computers, clocks, drones, clones, trees, and stalks
Moles, trolls, lights at four-way stops, spiders
Mushrooms, atoms, and their colliders

Well nothing in this world′s gonna petrify me
We are repeating
(Packages left at the door, tin cans, the earth's core)
Always vibrating
(Mustard seeds, turtles, weeds, herds of elk, teeth, you, me)
We are transmitting

(Flocks of birds, forest fires, crispy chicken, Bengal tigers)
Well nothing in this world′s gonna petrify me
We are repeating
(Horses, wagons, aeroplanes, cars, bathtubs into drains)
We are transmitting
(Cocoons, macadamias, plankton blooms)
We are receiving
(Sulfur pools, rivers, icе, steam, patent leathеr, lice)

Well nothing in this world's gonna petrify me
We are repeating
(Computers, clocks, drones, clones, trees, and stalks)
We are transmitting
(Moles, trolls, lights at four-way stops, spiders)
(Mushrooms, atoms, and their colliders)
We are receiving
(Salmon, pinecones, office dividers, mitochondria, caterpillars)

Well, nothing in this world′s gonna petrify me
We are repeating
(Packages left at the door, tin cans, the earth's core)
(Mustard seeds, turtles, weeds, herds of elk, teeth, you, me)
We've been transmitting
(Flocks of birds, forest fires, crispy chicken, Bengal tigers)
We′ve been receiving
(Jewelry, lumps of coal, things gettin′ pulled into black holes)
(Horses, wagons, aeroplanes, cars, bathtubs into drains)

But some things aren't visible
But some things aren′t visible
Like yesterday, beams of light, cellphones calls
And tomorrow
Like yesterday, beams of light, cellphones calls
And tomorrow

No, some things aren't visible
No, some things aren′t visible
Beams of light, breath, and wind, yesterday
And tomorrow
No, some things aren't visible
