"Dance Of The Clairvoyants"

Confusion is to commotion
What love is to our devotion
Imperceptibly big, big as the ocean
And equally hard to control

So save your predictions and burn your assumptions
Love is friction, ripe for comfort
Endless equations and tugging persuasions
Doors open up to interpretation

Expecting perfection leaves a lot to ignore
When the past is the present and the future's no more
When every tomorrow is the same as before

The looser things get, the tighter you become
The looser things get, the tighter
Not one man can be greater than the sum
It's not a negative thought, or positive
Positive, positive
Falling down, not staying down
Coulda held me up, rather than tear me down
Drown in the river

Expecting perfection leaves a lot to endure
When the past is the present and the future's no more
When every tomorrow is the same as before

Numbers keep falling off the calendar's floor
We're stuck in our boxes, window's open no more
Collecting up the forget-me-nots, not recalling what they're for
I'm in love with clairvoyants 'cause they're out of this world

I know the girls wanna dance
Away their circumstance
I know the boys wanna grow
Their dicks and fix and fire things
I know the girls wanna dance
Clairvoyants in a trance
I know the boys wanna grow
Their dicks and fix and fire things

Stand back when the spirit comes
Stand back when the spirit comes
Stand back when the spirit comes
Stand back

Stand back when the spirit comes
Stand back when the spirit comes
Stand back when the spirit comes
Stand back

Stand back when the spirit comes
Stand back when the spirit comes
Stand back when the spirit comes
Stand back

I know the girls wanna dance
Away their circumstance
I know the boys wanna grow
Their dicks and fix and fire things
I know the girls wanna dance
Clairvoyants in a trance
I know the boys wanna grow
Their dicks and fix and fire things
Their dicks and fix and fire things

Stand back when the spirit comes
Stand back when the spirit comes
Stand back when the spirit comes

Great to hear Ed playing to his vocal strengths for a change.

Best lead single since I Am Mine (though that's not saying much )
