Not Now (feat. Lars Horntveth)

I pull the sweater my mother knit me

Over my dizzy head

And close my eyes the second

Light is blocked by wool and thread

Breathing is an ordeal

At times too hard to do

But when I lace my boots

I'm ready to pursue

Days that are like ice cubes

Thawing in a glass

Cool in the morning

But nothing cool can last

I can use a mirror

To align the stylus straight

Attempt to ride the groove

In search of perfect weight

But there's no way of knowing

The outcome of my plans

My vantage point is shady

I can't complete a decent scan

Days are like ice cubes

Thawing in a glass

Cool in the morning

But nothing cool can last

Not now, not now, not now

Odds are never equal

Cards are bought not dealt

It's the heat of the water

That determines when you melt

I am not a quitter

Quitters never win

I don't believe in paradise

That's not the way I spin

Days are like ice cubes

Thawing in a glass

Cool in the morning

But nothing cool can last

Not now

Days are like ice cubes

Thawing in a glass

Cool in the morning

But nothing cool can last

Not now

Now
