Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There's fires, and fever, and flooding
And this howling
Can you accept it?
Can you sit with this feeling?
Even as you reject it?
[Verse 2]
The ice is forming, crystallizing
As you pick your way precariously up the street
They say there's not enough salt in the world
To melt these streets
These sheets, well, you might be surprised
Why would you be surprised?
You know that sea levels rise
[Chorus]
It's the weirdness, my friend
It's the weirdness, my squirrel
As you pick your way through the lawns of the world
With instinct, intuition, in response to the condition
We're all
In the uncanny now
[Verse 3]
You're like, "What rhymes can I write to make a difference?"
The difference, the difference, the difference
But it's not the difference, it's the sum
It's the multiplication, it's the algorithmic occasion
It's the way you can't grasp it
Without recourse to a metaphor
Or a model that you don't understand
[Chorus]
It's the weirdness, my friend
It's the weirdness, my squirrel
As you pick your way through the lawns of the world
With instinct, intuition, in response to the condition
We're all
In the uncanny now
[Verse 4]
Well, we're unreservedly howling
With mock uncertainty
It's an act of psychic self-preservation
'Cause if we expelled what we felt
We'd have precious little left for ourselves
Can you accept it?
Can you sit with this feeling?
Even as you reject it?
[Chorus]
It's the weirdness, my friend
It's the weirdness, my squirrel
As you pick your way through the lawns of the world
With instinct, intuition, in response to the condition
We're all
And we take cold comfort
Through this howling
From every direction
