lyrics by David Hammes
Ten thousand bricks and a broken sidewalk, Groomed and well dusted, a rusted ghost town; There's no one around. When everyone's gone and no one's watching I sit by myself and cut all the heart strings And with the freedom an empty day brings, I fall...and never make a sound. I'm slowly drifting out of focus With no more rationale to hold me down; But the clarity's profound. Corner to corner, steel and wood; I'm running faster than I think I should But the feeling's just too good To put my feet back on the ground. I know you think I've gone too far And tied my hands to the wheel of a spinning car I'm on my way to a stranger star And I think you know that chances are I won't be coming back to you I've just got too many things to do... Open the door, come on in, There's something more...to say; And don't be scared, close your eyes It'll be okay...today. I just got distracted Too many ways to the flame attracted But I've seen stranger days The world turns over in its sleep As all the people try to keep the time And all the things you think you know Are nothing to the seed that grows Beneath the falling sands, I'm a stranger in a vastly stranger land.
