lyrics

beautiful blue skies
beautiful blue skies and golden sunshine

are hanging in my mind
like a swinging bridge of time
all drenched in starlings

but way out, past the final street
of our town, a grid of humid heat
a bent spoke and a lower bar for bliss
a lost song rings into the mist

above that freeway
in a crypt of cryptochrome
they’ll call it a mistake
but I ain’t going home
if there’s still hope for me
it lies in some buffer zone

beautiful blue skies
beautiful blue skies and golden sunshine

on America online like a tunnel made of vines
all drenched in contrails

so I ask myself every day
I ask myself every day
how do you know?
how do you know?

yeah I ask myself every day
yeah I ask myself every day
how do you know?
how do you know?

that some song could ever stop the crush
of this town, a grid of lime and dust
but we know, we know it’s worth the risk
of this tale, one autotomous

above that freeway
in a crypt of cryptochrome
they’ll call it a mistake
but I ain’t going home
if there’s still hope we’ll see
when we lie in that buffer zone

but I ask myself every day
yeah I ask myself every day
how do you know?
how do you know?

yeah I ask myself every day
yeah I ask myself every day
how do you know?
how could you know?

so have a great rest of your day
in this town, a grid of slush and clay
when you speak, the words they'll fly away
but when sung, they'll all forever stay

above that freeway
in a crypt of cryptochrome
they’ll call it a mistake
but we ain’t going home
if there’s still hope we’ll see
when we lie in that buffer zone
