Metropolitan
The car's in second gear, through the glass I hear
The sigh of the city
Piles on piles of splendor and glory
Respiration at ninety-six stories
My anthropology class isn't working out like I thought it would
Guess I can't tell people the way I thought I could
Just spilled my soda all over the floor
And the mats I cleaned when I had them fix the dent in the door
All these ordinary, all these fears and things
They drop away, they drop away when you
Grip me so tightly my breath leaves me
And I catch it up late
And the drink might spill and knowledge might escape me
And the car may die and the city may crumble
But this love it, it stays, when you
You throw your arms apart, and I see your heart
Like a wide open sea
All this clear blue to catch the sunlight
Let your rays shine on me, let them shine on me
Sometimes the planets move backwards
Like a stain in the sky
They wander to and fro while we all
Scratch our heads and wonder why
And sometimes lives wander too
Caught up in everyday confusion
But I know it's all retrograde motion
And you escape the illusion
You throw your arms apart, and I see your heart
Like a wide open sea
All this clear blue to catch the sunlight
Let your rays shine on me, let them shine on me
But don't you dare
Offer up your sanctuary
The soles of a million shoes
Will trample on all sides
Just lie flat
Just lie flat and wait for me
Gonna turn this car around
Motor back toward home
Pack enough for two, some for me and some for you
Pick you up and we'll roam
Free from all these distractions
Loud lights, bright sirens, useless action
Gonna play hooky 'til we're 84 years old
Laugh at our escape from this concrete stronghold
When you throw your arms apart, and I see your heart
Like a wide open sea
All this clear blue to catch the sunlight
Let your rays shine on me, let them shine on
You throw your arms apart, and I see your heart
Like a wide open sea
All this clear blue to catch the sunlight
Let your rays shine on me
Let them shine
Let them shine
Let them shine
Let them shine on me
The sigh of the city
Piles on piles of splendor and glory
Respiration at ninety-six stories
My anthropology class isn't working out like I thought it would
Guess I can't tell people the way I thought I could
Just spilled my soda all over the floor
And the mats I cleaned when I had them fix the dent in the door
All these ordinary, all these fears and things
They drop away, they drop away when you
Grip me so tightly my breath leaves me
And I catch it up late
And the drink might spill and knowledge might escape me
And the car may die and the city may crumble
But this love it, it stays, when you
You throw your arms apart, and I see your heart
Like a wide open sea
All this clear blue to catch the sunlight
Let your rays shine on me, let them shine on me
Sometimes the planets move backwards
Like a stain in the sky
They wander to and fro while we all
Scratch our heads and wonder why
And sometimes lives wander too
Caught up in everyday confusion
But I know it's all retrograde motion
And you escape the illusion
You throw your arms apart, and I see your heart
Like a wide open sea
All this clear blue to catch the sunlight
Let your rays shine on me, let them shine on me

Let your rays shine on me, let them shine on
You throw your arms apart, and I see your heart
Like a wide open sea
All this clear blue to catch the sunlight
Let your rays shine on me
Let them shine
Let them shine
Let them shine
Let them shine on me
