Written: October 2013

lyrics

She holds a cigarette because she likes the way it makes her look
When landscape’s steaming by and windows paint a picture like a book
Cause only books can take her romping through the wilderness
At ninety miles an hour where the torrent wind is torrid bliss

She wants to get away from all the pleasant novelties
And old cliche activities and chic suburban frivolties
But there was no escape and so she swallowed all her sorrows
And now we’re climbing mountains taking pictures of tomorrow

And when the Earth turns you smile
While I was thinking of gravity
And how I wish I could float away
To where the sunrise is always seen
And dislocate from this pleasant place
Cause it has been such a while
And if the Earth turns away from me
Well that would be ok

I’ve seen the mountaintops all nestled up like Russian dolls
You open them up one by one but all you find are empty halls
And shadows of the people who once walk them in your memory
Now they’ve all gone away but still chant a ghostly melody

Kick back the stirrups and go riding till you find the spot
Where pieces of your life are picking up and turning back the clock
Now hold them in your heart until your logic takes them all away
Now hold them in your mind until that logic disappears one day

And when the Earth turns you smile
While I was thinking of gravity
And how I wish I could float away
To where the sunrise is always seen
And dislocate from this pleasant place
Cause it has been such a while
And if the Earth turns away from me
Well that would be ok
