Lyrics

[Verse 1]
All the way home we felt we had a chance
To review the coulds before we were born
And to invite a new game of can'ts
[Verse 2]
Absobed in the clouds a voice from afar said
"With the right device you make a pattern grow
Or you can tune up your car"
[Verse 3]
So we stayed on the train admiring the time
As the lights of the city drew near
We drank a little wine
[Verse 4]
They were blurry and green outer space in between
With a depth and a form unclear
Then we saw it up ahead
[Verse 5]
A flickering lantern lit up on the tracks
In the rugs that had covered up the bridge
From the banks of a river to the bed
Of the valley upstream to the place we live
[Verse 6]
The glass on the lantern cat back the sight
Of a drive-in movie we drove by below
We saw where we'd been in the pictures within
Projecting all the places we would go
[Verse 7]
So we follow the scene and flowed up your steps
To a smooth wooden floor in a trance
The train whistle melody wove through the trees
And in through the door to signal the turns of a dance
Written by: Joseph Linitz, Mike Gordon
