[00:01.52]
[00:23.11]I'm buckle in my seat belt
[00:25.35]Plug my headset in a chair
[00:27.65]
[00:28.43]And to the music
[00:29.45]I watch flight attendants move
[00:32.60]
[00:34.19]They are pointing out the exits
[00:37.15]But it looks more like a prayer
[00:39.06]
[00:39.83]Or an ancient dance their
[00:41.52]Bloodline reaches through
[00:43.82]
[00:45.62]These planes are built for sifting
[00:48.05]Through the warriors from the men
[00:50.47]
[00:51.01]I've got time to sit and
[00:52.79]Watch them for a while
[00:54.72]
[00:56.07]You can see everywhere they're going
[00:58.91]
[00:59.99]Everywhere they've been
[01:01.50]
[01:02.19]And how they look out at the
[01:04.17]Clouds each time they smile
[01:06.09]
[01:07.64]And I think  maybe he's in
[01:09.90]Town for someone's birthday
[01:12.08]
[01:14.23]Maybe he makes trouble everywhere
[01:17.14]
[01:19.01]But as much he resists the
[01:20.45]Conversation between the
[01:22.61]Rivers and the freeways
[01:24.69]
[01:26.00]He knows it's always there
[01:28.99]
[01:30.93]As the northwest passage sits
[01:33.08]Somewhere below me as I sleep
[01:36.01]I dream of captains and
[01:37.72]Explorers eating boots
[01:40.66]
[01:42.09]When I ask if I can join them
[01:44.51]
[01:45.05]And they offer one to me
[01:47.18]
[01:47.87]I wake up as my home comes into view
[01:52.48]
[01:53.38]So I reach out down for my notebook
[01:55.94]To see what impressions could be spun
[01:58.58]But it's just buildings
[02:00.03]And a million swimming pools
[02:02.67]
[02:04.60]So I leaf back through the
[02:06.38]Pages to see where I am from
[02:10.08]Or for some crumbling map
[02:11.71]Of what it's leading to
[02:13.69]
[02:15.36]And I find that the hero in
[02:17.29]This song that I am writing
[02:19.94]
[02:21.89]Doesn't know he's just
[02:23.09]An image of myself
[02:25.03]
[02:26.84]But as much he resists the
[02:28.36]Conversation between
[02:30.55]The rivers and the freeways
[02:32.54]
[02:33.37]He's somehow always
[02:34.62]Asking them for help
[02:36.38]
[03:23.84]I want to make out all the signs
[03:26.54]I've been ignoring
[03:27.77]
[03:29.68]How the trees reach for the sky
[03:32.42]Or in the length of someone's hair
[03:34.46]
[03:36.25]'Cause when you don't
[03:37.21]Know where you are going
[03:38.90]
[03:42.14]Any road will take you there
[03:44.40]
[03:46.85]So maybe I'm in town
[03:48.83]For someone's birthday
[03:50.50]
[03:52.62]Maybe I make trouble everywhere
[03:55.40]
[03:57.36]But as much I resist the
[03:58.65]Conversation between the
[04:00.83]Rivers and the freeways
[04:03.08]
[04:04.31]I know it's always there
[04:06.83]
[04:09.83]I know it's always there
[04:12.28]
[04:15.47]I know it's always there
