i hear sound echo in the emptiness all around but you can't change this loneliness...
Staring into the intersection
she thinks that she can fly and she might
holding on in a new direction
she's gonna try it tonight
the closer i get to feeling
the further that i'm feeling from alright
the more i step into the sun
the more i step out of the light
Jessica is covered in a blanket
on a sunday porch
thinking on the weekends
she would party in the city
she doesn't have a flame
she'd prefer to burn out
like a torch
If she gets nowhere in life
At least she knows she's pretty
She says
Hey Now The Straw dog's out in the street
Hey now there's chemicals in the clouds
Hey now they're calling all the police
But they won't get to us anyhow
The moon is shining now
And shadows are what's left of all the noise
simple silhouettes and cut outs
As if we had a choice
he listens closely now
swears that he can hear a voice
that's calling him
and saying
Hey now the straw dog's out in the street
Hey now there's chemicals in the clouds
Hey now there calling all the police
but they won't get to us anyhow... No
What does it take to be a super hero in my world
make no mistake that these villains always get the girl
we can escape and then we'd skate away from all of this
but no one ever does
She's saying
Hey now the straw dog's out in the street
hey now there's chemicals in the clouds
hey now they're calling all the police
but they won't get to us
No they'll never get to us
hey now the straw dog's out in the street
hey now there's chemicals in the clouds
they're calling all the police
but they won't get to us... now
you woke up, in pieces
from making these changes
and holding the ransom, won't write you an anthem
on the outside, I'm trying, cause inside, I'm dying
this broken heart was stronger then,
now I cant stand to part with this
this broken heart
you took me for granted
now I'm changed, you haven't
it wont be so easy to sell me this feeling
this broken heart, was stronger than, the words I wish you never meant
this broken heart
can't make this right, you see on my face,
that I'm not gonna be alright, not tonight,
you can read all my letters, but that won't mean things are fine,
not this time, cause you gave away all the secrets of you and I
this broken heart, was stronger then
now I cant stand to part with this
this broken heart, was stronger than,
the words I wish you never meant
