lyrics

I ’m going downstream just like the man on channel 4. He’s his back to a map of the world.
He says its going to rain forever more.
And it’s probably nobody’s fault but if it were it’s probably be mine.
And it’s probably never gonna pass but if it does I’d say any time.
Whistling in the bone yard. Picking up what’s been dropped before.
You can’t pick what’s never been there.
Whistling with a head full of holes. Holding out a hand full of bones.
You can’t hold out what’s never been there.
There’s another power line down. I can tell by the line the transformer hums.
It’s lying twisted down on the ground. It’s going to sing until the repair man comes.

I wanted to paint the sky red, but I guess I’ll never be quite that tall.. On a night like the stars don’t
Twinkle, they just fall. They’re showing movies on the face of the moon. Someone fell asleep in the projector room. Tom Edison’s gonna have to wait cause me and his light bulb we got a date
