Lyrics

0:44Skimmin' the tops of tall trees
0:48Through the clear light of free speech
0:52A sudden memory disease
0:57Claims the air all around me
1:01I'm gettin' lost in the slipstream
1:05Maybe relive the same dream
1:09Of comin' in from the cold
1:14And losin' half of my soul
1:18Memory disease
1:22Across United States
1:25That I had told the truth
1:30Feel so high
1:35Architectural
1:37I look to the skies
1:41To see our bodies
1:45They were rising up
1:49Out of the paper cup
1:53A sea change is due
1:57I don't seem to you
2:00Touchdown on the new mason-dixon
2:04Line-up map was ripped and torn
2:08Jilted frame with all hope gone
2:12And I don't mind if you sing a differnet song
2:17Sing a different song
2:19Just as long as you sing
2:21Sing along
2:25It's later than it seems
2:37Time everyone came down
2:41It's what you didn't say it's what you didn't say
2:49Don't wanna be a slave
2:54It's what you didn't
3:13Skimmin' the tops of tall trees
3:17Through the clear light of free speech
3:21I'm comin' in for a landing
3:25I've got a soul understanding
3:29It all comes down to a word
3:33It's just like nothin' I heard
3:37Over the rainbow in time
3:41Will be one hell of a climb
3:45Eye lights bright
3:50The lights sweep high clear sky
3:57Sky
3:58Reminiscent
4:02Of money in your eye
4:05Unwind
4:38I don't mind if you sing a different song
4:42Sing a different song
4:44Just as long as you sing
4:46Sing along
4:50It's later than it seems
4:54It's later than it seems
4:58It's later than it seems
5:02New ears are listening
5:07It's what you didn't say
5:11It's what you didn't say
5:15Don't wanna be a slave
5:19It's what you didn't say
5:23Nothing to give away
Skimmin' the tops of tall trees
Through the clear light of free speech
A sudden memory disease
Claims the air all around me
I'm gettin' lost in the slipstream
Maybe relive the same dream
Of comin' in from the cold
And losin' half of my soul
Memory disease
Across United States
That I had told the truth
Feel so high
Architectural
I look to the skies
To see our bodies
They were rising up
Out of the paper cup
A sea change is due
I don't seem to you
Touchdown on the new mason-dixon
Line-up map was ripped and torn
Jilted frame with all hope gone
And I don't mind if you sing a differnet song
Sing a different song
Just as long as you sing
Sing along
It's later than it seems
Time everyone came down
It's what you didn't say it's what you didn't say
Don't wanna be a slave
It's what you didn't
Skimmin' the tops of tall trees
Through the clear light of free speech
I'm comin' in for a landing
I've got a soul understanding
It all comes down to a word
It's just like nothin' I heard
Over the rainbow in time
Will be one hell of a climb
Eye lights bright
The lights sweep high clear sky
Sky
Reminiscent
Of money in your eye
Unwind
I don't mind if you sing a different song
Sing a different song
Just as long as you sing
Sing along
It's later than it seems
It's later than it seems
It's later than it seems
New ears are listening
It's what you didn't say
It's what you didn't say
Don't wanna be a slave
It's what you didn't say
Nothing to give away
