Lyrics
a sound outside hums along
a tuneless voice calls me down
our flight paths cross and far below
germs hitch a ride to see the show
I'm asking but it's need to know
and I can't have the world to go, away
it isn't what you say or even what you take
if tomorrow is today, you're already far away
silver spoons reflect familiar stars
we watch the world revolve through plates of glass
you're waiting for the shortest day
you wanna be the living end
I like it here and wanna stay
but can't decode the looks you send to me
I'll let the rollers take me, I'll be a roller too
not perfect but then tell me, am I close enough for you
ooooohhhhhhh
