Lyric Straw Dog

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 ina blanket on a Sunday porch
Thinking of 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 know s she pretty

She said, "Hey, now, the straw dog s out in the street
Hey now, there s chemicals in the clouds
Hey now, they re calling the police
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 cutouts as if we had the 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, they re calling the police
They won t get to us, anyhow."

What does it take to be a superhero in our world?
Make no mistake that these villains always get the girl
We can escape, and then we d skate away from all of this
And 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 the police
They won t get to us, anyhow."
