lyrics

On that slow-moving morning, she was stoned
Reading relevant fiction, about broken beautiful souls
Out of focus then she notices the room
Has shifted, light is drifting
The end of the day has come too soon

Inside of a cave, reaching out for a wall
I'm blind with my eyes wide open, will I fall?
Put my head down, start to run, there ain't no time to stall

It's hard to catch up with the world, that's always marching on
Turning left, and left again, and left again
Until she's back where she'd begun
She double-takes on the show, she's not the only one
They're turning left, and left again, and left again
She starts to let go, just get on

Inside of a cave, reaching out for a wall
I'm blind with my eyes wide open, will I fall?
Put my head down, start to run
There ain't no time to stall

If I go back to the way things were
I'd lose sight of the sun
Now the silhouettes appear
And they're dancing on

Get on, get on, she lets go
Get on, get on
Get on, get on, she lets go
Get on, get on

Get on, get on, she lets go
Get on, get on
Get on, get on, she lets go
Get on, get on
