lyrics

Take away the drum and the bass
Take away everything that hasn’t been nailed down
And we’ll all settle down without a sound
Carving out a bit of space
Separating all that is permanent
From the things that rise and fall
Nothing

Minnesota summer can make you start to wonder if the blueprint’s faded back
California thunder breaking out from under all that’s been created fast

And we don’t know what we’re going to find
Everything is flying
Walking down these dead end streets
And driving down suspicious highways

Take away the time and the place
Take away everything that hasn’t been roped off
And we’ll just stand and wait
Writing out names and dates
Looking through the clues for evidence
Of the things that rise and fall
Nothing

Minnesota summer can make you start to wonder if the blueprint’s faded back
California turnaround and finish what was left around the last time we kept track

And I don’t know what we’re going to find
Everything is flying
Walking down these dead end streets
And driving down suspicious highways
