Panic Open String Lyrics
Calexico
Panic open string, power grids blackout
Birds all fly in numbers down to the ground
Reassure the blades of green, green grass
Season's still asleep more or less
Wind is gearing up for a reckless ride
Leaning accidental on nature's side
Propeller power fields, solar panel sides
Lightning bolts connect, it's with you I will go
I close my eyes and the seasons pass
Above the cityscape, the city out of reach
Way beyond our lives, up into the sky, far below the
Green
My dreams are all blue, so is my heart
Light up screens of you, if you could only see
Time's dreams escape, late into the night
When the stars align reminds me of you
Words will lose their fear
And I will find their truth
Church bells in the hills they will ring and ring
Ocean's to the coast will cling to their host
The sun will split in two , sink thru an empty sky
It's where we'll go when we
Leave this place and die
