lyrics

boy + rocket/ & you can’t stop it/ with h.u.e. this rocket be/ something that you cannot see/ unless of course your bifocals be/ hubble telescopes in 20-20/ these beats on earth from galaxies/ where people still believe in dreams/ and kids turn off their t.v. screens/ and walmarts collapse beneath the trees/ and seasons change & so do we/ which means that we proceed/ and rarely repeat our history/ see, this right here, is a.r.t./ (always reaching there) like mtns. to sea, the/ line in the distance is just that thin/ when my man sailed away into the horizon/ I never knew when I’d see him again/ but I didn’t doubt I would/ cuz his smile be glitterin’/ little blue bird with the red wings flitterin’/ these tunes spannin’ out (wide) like pilgrims on a mission, and/ we stay humble and live like the Indians/ keep our shows packed so you need a reservation/ if you wanna even try to make it thru the door/ throw your hands up like we just made a field goal!
