Transmitting Receiving Modest Mouse

[Verse 1]
Horses, wagons, aeroplanes, cars, bathtubs into drains
Smartphones, doorbells, refrigerators, pencils, hens, paper, skin
Hair, watermelons, alligators, volcanoes and super freighters
Dust on floors, grease in pores, the food you eat, opened doors
From mountains to the shoes you bought, scissor lifts, toys, rocks
Grass, asps, planets, tin, magnets, rabbits, palms, dreams
An ocean of our own air, quarks, stars, defibrillators
(Well, nothing in this world is gonna petrify me)
Blinds, struts, beaks, shocks, tornadoes, crockpots, kumquats
(We are repeating)
Baseballs, plants both big and small, oysters, muscles, mirrors, walls
(Wе are transmitting)
EKG, balloons, cocoons, macadamias, plankton blooms
(We are rеceiving)
Sulfur pools, rivers, ice, steam, patent leather, lice
(Well, nothing in this world's gonna petrify me)
Vacuum cleaners, windows, lights, fans, scales, your smart device
(We are repeating)
Computers, clocks, drones, clones, trees and stalks, moles and trolls
(We are transmitting)
Lights at four-way stops, spiders, mushrooms, atoms and their colliders
(We are receiving)
Salmon, pinecones, office dividers, mitochondria, caterpillars
(Well, nothing in this world's gonna petrify me)
Packages left at the door, tin cans, the earth's core
(We are repeating)
Mustard seeds, turtles, weeds, herds of elk, teeth, you, me
(We've been transmitting)
Flocks of birds, forest fires, crispy chicken, Bengal tigers
(We've been receiving)
Jewelry, lumps of coal, things gettin' pulled into black holes
Horses, wagons, aeroplanes, cars, bathtubs into drains
