Time's been hanging around
Like vultures circle prey on the ground
You watch TV
To drown yourself in static sound
Gotta ignore all the evidence
Put your faith in government
Tiptoe around the electric fence
So you don't wake up anyone

Last time I felt at peace
We'd dropped three tabs each
And headed east to the old playground
But some junkie burned it down
From the ashes, no phoenix arose
But we mapped out the stars and houses
In the patterns on our clothes
And figured out where to go

I could see from the shine in your eyes it was OK
When that shifting orb of light
Made me feel that I would float away
You kept me on the ground
And cradled by the tree on the water
We let our roots intersect
The first son, and only daughter
You mended my wand
Took a drink from the pond
Blew away on a palm frond

And I had to take a walk
Through the town that I forgot
Chasing your aura for a few more blocks
When I get home, you've already transformed
When I get home, you've already transformed
A familiar shade, easily made
Existing out of...

Time's been hanging around
Like vultures circle prey on the ground
You watch TV
To drown yourself in static sound
Gotta ignore all the evidence
Put your faith in government
Tiptoe around the electric fence
So you don't wake up anyone
(Anyone)
(Anyone)
