lyrics

Could we try
Try bicycles coming from the sky
My angel's head is drooping
Tuck my arms into my sides
I listened for you
Now higher still
Break through the atmosphere
I turn into a star
My hands are the heavens
And my voice is the sea

I'll turn you into a bobsled
I'm a popscicle stick
Drag you across the desert
Wagon cut out from a tree

Soon soon all we'll do is blow
Blow around into the sound
Sound of my clothing on the
Chair lift me up into the
Air is something traceable
I traced it with my finger
On the kindergarten notepad
With a voice from the sea

I'll turn you into a bobsled
I'm a popscicle stick
Drag you across the desert
Wagon cut out from a tree

I'll meet you under the car tonight
We'll make ourselves round
Around and round we'll go
Just like the earth and the wheel
The wheels of the clock keep ticking time
Time is a circle time is a wheel
Everything comes back again
Just keep happening never ends
And if it ends it just
Starts again and again
Bury me under the sand
Pull my feet till they come off
Put them in the sky we tried
Tried to tell you here we are
The pavement turns us into
Traffic signals maps of the world
Fold us up and put us in the
Glove compartment
Love department
I miss the time when this made sense
I miss the time when we were traveling
Traveling to Africa together in the fall
The fall of man was in the springtime
And i miss the time when
You and i were hiking in the mountains
And we took ourselves to try
Try everyone tries it's
My eye
Turn to the sea and the sky
I turn to the ocean the sea
See
Cut out from a tree
