grey sky undertow
03:56

2000 miles later,
just beyond the dream state transformed,
on a wave-smashed boardwalk, we sat in silence,
and waved goodbye to our grey sky undertow.
after all the love had come and gone,
you and I kept holding on
‘til there was no one left to blame.
and after all the love had come and gone,
there was no use holding on
to what we became
all those miles later.
2000 miles later
you and i found nothing but unknowns.
In a twilight aurora, underneath Orion’s sword,
we waved goodbye to our grey sky undertow.
after all the love had come and gone,
you and I kept holding on
‘til there was no one left to blame.
and after all the love had come and gone,
there was no use holding on
to what we became
all those miles later.

one city

she walks into union square
sends the pigeons flying
didn’t think i’d find her there
didn’t think of trying
she sits on a bench above the subway
as the trains rumble by
i see her shake
inside the hiss of a subway’s brakes
it means everything and nothing just the same
a city
to strangers
one city
two strangers
one city
too strange
dreams between drags on a cigarette
while i watch
under the lights of an august city
that will never stop
red street, the light of a taxi’s brakes
it means everything and nothing just the same
a city
to strangers
one city
two strangers
one city
too strange

ursula, i can’t be in love with you
even though you’re famous now, even though I knew you once, just as
ursula, you were such a lucky girl
got paid to collect shells, you were never gonna fail
but you’re just a reflection
of everything
we used to be
you’re a figurine, a die-cast figurine
who made the men blue and all the women green
and now you’re up for bid as a figurine
ursula, you were not from my time
but you were more than a tight bikini, in the middle of a spy movie starring
ursula, i can’t love you anymore
even though you stole that scene, even though you’re a pin-up queen
[ch]
[solo]
ursula, i’ve grown away from you
that was another me, you’re not a woman to call my own
you’re just a reflection
of everything
we used to be
you’re a figurine, a die-cast figurine
you made the men blue and all the women green
and you’re covered in cinema sheen
you’re a figurine
‘cause all the men are blue
and cinema’s so sheen
so now you’re up for bid as a figurine
you’re up for bid

There’s a fire in the arcade
It’s never going out
A cold war never ending
A whole world cast in doubt
Just remember I'll be easily found
'Cos you lit the place on fire, but never burned it down
You blacked out Coney Island
And shorted out the games
You left the Cyclone to the ocean
And chained me to your name
Now I’m the lone Defender
A dream that never fades
And today became forever
Inside these arcade flames
Now you’re dancing on my ashes
I’m dispersed into a cloud
You got everything you wanted
Locked me in from without
Just remember I'll be easily found
'Cos you lit the place on fire, but never burned it down

i blow my mind
almost every night
with my early girl
and a couple transient lines
it’s not that i
have too much time
it’s just that i
make time to fry
i am slipping in and out of time
watching as my neighbors fly
out their windows way up high
every time i close my eyes
but this mass hallucination
is just a restless indication
that we can’t deal with
how really real all of this
really is
you can take a holiday
from reality
whenever you like
i go offline
anytime i have time
with my early girl
and a couple other close friends of mine
you say you want to feel real
why do you want to feel real?
there’s no need to feel real.
you shouldn’t have to feel real.
you can take a holiday
from reality
whenever you like
