Path of Totality Lyrics

The four of us

Stuffed into the Subaru

We made it just outside Paducah

But all the campsites were flooded

So we found a clearing off a side road

After dusk, as we pitched our tents

Andy's headlamp revealed eight million glistening eyes

In the grass we thought was just laced with dew

Only then we realized that we were standing

In a sprawling field of spiders

If we disappear or vanish on the path

Think nothing of it

Save yourself the search

If we dissolve in the midday night

And there's no accumulation

Let the new horizon grow

At dawn we packed up

And took off to the riverside

Bought some ice and Miller High Life

We swam in the Ohio

In the sweltering heat until

It was time to look up for exactly

One hundred and sixty-one seconds

The totality unveiled eight million glistening stars

In the sky above, the ring of light burst from the eclipsing moon

We stood silently in awe, and I thought

"I am safe, I am safe, I am safe"

If we disappear and vanish from the path

Think nothing of it

Save yourself the search

If we dissolve in the midday night

It's a reaccumulation

Let the whole horizon glow

As we disappear and vanish from the path

Think nothing of it

Save yourself the search

As we dissolve in the midday night

In the reaccumulation

Let the old horizon go
