lyrics

Sweet little thing
Got lost parked your car right up on the sidewalk
You're an ageless queen
How long til you unearth your time capsule?
All those rusted dreams
The things you thought would make millions are garbage
The girl of your teens
Wrote you a letter, a wish list of promise
But you're just poisoning
Everyone who would die for you in silence
You've been an absentee
You're as clean as the crows are quiet
You're as clean as the crows are quiet
You're as clean as the crows are quiet
You're as clean as the dozers

Lost in the mail
Golden record on the voyager
Trouble on the trail
For the interstellar Mozart
Not finding anything
I doubt they'll find anything in time

Crashed on the lawn,
You need the past, that old shoebox of knowledge
Your old you long gone
Just a collage of your boyfriends from college
Those old Mayan kings
You conquered them now your calendars are empty
The friends you don't see
You scraped them off like the frost on your windshield
Hey, what about me?
Were all my efforts meaningless but valiant?
What do you adore?
You're as clear as those stone hieroglyphics
You're as clear as the Congo in the night and the fight
You're as clear as a house full of spirits
You're as clear as the protesters' plight

You're as clear as the riots
You're as clear as the riots
You're as clear as Orion
You're as clear as the riots
