lyrics

Cold and raining, the city is shimmering glass
and wire
Night is falling on unfinished anger that's
burning still
Light escapes as it leaps from the windows
and disappears
Gigantic faces flicker and grimace on drive-in
screens
What's the thread of meaning that
we've lost here?
Every explanation seems to fail here
You can hear a pin drop in the hotel
...on the stairs…in the hallway
…nothing moves.

Claire is built like a dream, so she models
and turns some tricks,
Stands in lobbies and waits till she lures the
next lonely boy
Halfway up to her room he gets ambushed
and hacked to death
They split the money, she gets the smallest
amount, of course.

What's the thread of meaning that
we've lost here?
The passing years have clouded why we
came here
You can hear a pin drop in the park
...in the church…in the movie house
…someone sleeps.

Night hangs on with the grip of a cripple who
loves his strength
Someone could ask for a match and they
might get a torch
All you have is the thread that was tossed
down the labyrinth's hole
First kill the Minotaur, then you can follow it out
Don't lose it, follow it out.

Where's the thread?
Where's the thread?
Where's the thread?
Where's the thread?

The Fibonaccis image

The Fibonaccis Los Angeles, California

Welcome to The Fibonaccis official Bandcamp page. The band rose from the early-'80s Los Angeles art punk scene and drew from a wide range of ideas and influences. It was active until 1988, with a brief exhumation and CD retrospective in 1992. The name comes from Leonardo Fibonacci, the 14th century Italian mathematician from Pisa.
