Time Turns Elastic Lyrics - Joy - Phish

In and out of focus, time turns elastic 

In and out of focus, in and out of focus, time turns elastic 

In and out of focus, in and out of focus, time turns 

And when I stay too long, I went outside and stared 

Arms outstretched and long, moved straight across the sky 

(In and out of focus, in and out of focus) 

If I could wrap my arms around this globe 

Hands, touch the green and brown 

I'd sink into the cool, cool ground 

(In and out of focus, in and out of focus) 

Seen all, seen all, seen all summer 

Seen all, seen all, seen all spring 

But I'm a submarine, submarine sinks below the ground 

A submarine, I'm a submarine, submarine sinks below the ground 

Now that the leaves turned to gold 

The moments all glow, frozen and free from time 

And out here on my own, I watch it ebb and flow 

Here with the fire burning low in the honey mist that breathes 

Crooked maple fingers trembling all around 

I feel the winds that blow 

Out here between the dark and light 

The summers gone, and the reeds bow down 

As the colors change all along the waterline, oh 

And when it's time the landslide will free what flows inside 

While all around the rocks collide, you finally see the lines 

That points towards the light that never dies 

Melody, shelter in the darkness take hold of me now 

Memory, trapped in a corner, dark fingers are long 

But all around, streaming down, rays of blue light calling out 

These silver sounds are raining down on me 

Here on the wheel the rhythm's turning all around 

Up above the dark, it's sky is bleeding 

I feel the world turning upside down 

These are the reasons that we lay down on the ground 

Drawn through the funnel, all the colors run together turning round 

Wait for the waves to come and carry me away 

Down on the ground the sounds of voices in the echoes seem to say 

And as the carousel circles unceasingly 

Watch while the ripples decay in this rolling time 

In cascading, the wind set the wheels in motion 

And it's turning in the mist around 

Rolling and turning into the mist around me 

Kissed by the water and held in your mother's arms 

Green where you tumble and roll in these fields 

The shapes of the bodies, a ship in the sun 

While the blossoms all scream and it sleeps around me 

The earth and these memories yields around me 

In and out of focus, time turns elastic, time turns 

In and out of focus, time turns elastic, time turns 

Touches these woods and these waters all paved with gold 

Gleaming in daylight their voices ring on 

They're cold while they're pointing, lay down in the storm 

And this life is bending and swelling around me 

Rolling and turning into the mist around me 

The winds all arising in the west around me 

And the carousel turns into breath around me 

In and out of focus, time turns elastic, time turns 

In and out of focus, time turns elastic, time turns 

In and out of focus, time turns elastic, time turns 

In and out of focus, time turns elastic, time turns
