lyrics

way out here where i always run to,
you can try and hide in the grain
and if you've got a light surrounding you,
you can try and hide my friend
you can try and hide again
somewhere else there's a great, great party
somewhere else they crowd and sing
way out here it's a lost and lonesome sound
that the stars all absent bring
that the stars all absent bring

have i gone a long time
gathered the interior of this giant land
what i've seen is sad now
open up the rains in these golden hands
you've been gone, forgotten
standing with the neighboring families for
what i've seen is nameless
and preserved a company perched and
ready and waiting for me

way out here's where i always wrap my wings
'round the hills and streets and homes
and if you've found a place to stand and bring
you can try and lay there alone
you can try and call your own
somewhere else there's a window gleaming wheel,
somewhere else they're spinning around
way out here it's a plastic vanished cave
that the seatop ends surround
that the seatop ends surround

way out here's where i always run to
and if you've found a place to call your own
somewhere else
way out here's where i always wrap my wings
and if you've found a place to stand and bring
somewhere else
