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 wont 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 wont 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 wont 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 wont get to us

Na na na na na na na na now
