Then A Girl Walks In - Shenandoah

Open up a window All the air, all the air is falling out Eyes vacuum up light Sound gets trapped by the mouth What to do with the remainder When the dents, the dents get hammered out Then we'll travel through time The world's an inventor with its work Crawling, running, squirming 'round Trees drop colorful fruits Directly into our mouths The world's an inventor We're the dirtiest thing it's thought about And we really don't mind We'll probably never get there Bring your sightseers, schoolteachers down It's a watercolor weekend All the trees are turning colors now We'll probably never get there Bring your candy taster time wasters around And we'll fuck with their minds The world composes With his shirttails wrinkled, hanging out Bang us together See what sort of sounds we make right now The world plays music Playing skin on teeth inside of the mouth What sort of sounds? What lovely sounds come about? We greased all the roads We're floating in the light We're gonna break these borders We're gonna move in time We greased all the roads We're floating in the light We're gonna break these borders We're gonna travel time We're gonna throw a party All the ghosts of trees are coming out Don't move in any direction Wait until the light's inside of the cloud You're gonna wanna see this Don't bring your camera around Watch sun and sawdust align We greased all the roads We're floating in the light We're gonna break these borders We're gonna pulse in time We greased all the roads We're floating in the light We're gonna break these borders We're gonna travel time Hold up a window All the air, all the air is falling out Eyes vacuum up light Sound gets trapped by the mouth Our predecessor left this box And something's clawing around I think it really wants out

The joke's on me and it ain't funny Everybody but me could see the punchline coming a mile away I've heard it so many times I can tell it to the T Believe me I could sell it all day It goes A guy walks into a bar, orders a drink Sees a girl that catches his eye Asks her if she wants another They fall for each other and end up lovers They laugh, cry, hold on tight, make it work for a little while Then one night, her taillights fade out into the dark And a guy walks into a bar I'd laugh too if my heart would let me Keeping it light will probably help to get me over you I'm walking, talking, drinking proof A cliché in a corner booth Ain't nothing new A guy walks into a bar, orders a drink Sees a girl that catches his eye Asks her if she wants another They fall for each other and end up lovers They laugh, cry, hold on tight, make it work for a little while Then one night her taillights fade out into the dark And a guy walks into a bar A guy walks into a bar, orders a drink Sees a girl that catches his eye Asks her if she wants another They fall for each other and end up lovers They laugh, cry, hold on tight, make it work for a little while Then one night, her taillights fade out into the dark And a guy walks into a bar A guy walks into a bar A guy walks into a bar

I see it clear like January air In my memory The world is movin' but I'm in the same place There's an orchestra somewhere in me But I don't have hands Watching all the music, but I don't know how to dance I don't know how to dance Aliens don't come dressed in silver suits We wave at them like the other humans do Do you know what it's like to be so close but so far? I feel like a girl in a bubble They can see me But they can't touch me Hidden away can't cause no trouble They can see me But they can't reach me What's it like on the other side of the glass? I feel like a girl in a bubble But I'm not Can you see it in my zombie stare? I'm only half there The rest of me another universe somewhere A hundred miles away in slow motion All I wanna feel is some analog emotion Aliens don't come dressed in silver suits We wave at them like the other humans do Do you know what it's like to be so close but so far? I feel like a girl in a bubble They can see me But they can't touch me Hidden away can't cause no trouble They can see me But they can't reach me I feel like a girl in a bubble They can see me But they can't touch me Hidden away can't cause no trouble They can see me But they can't reach me What's it like on the other side of the glass? I feel like a girl in a bubble Hold me close and say I'll never be alone Tell me that you love me 'cause it's what I need to know Hold me close and say I'll never be alone Tell me that you love me 'cause it's what I need to know I feel like a girl in a bubble They can see me But they can't touch me Hidden away can't cause no trouble They can see me But they can't reach me I feel like a girl in a bubble They can see me But they can't touch me Hidden away can't cause no trouble They can see me But they can't reach me What's it like on the other side of the glass? I feel like a girl in a bubble, but I'm not

Well, here comes trouble in a pair of tight jeans Fit to be tied bustin' at the seams Got a bead on me, she's a shootin' this way I'm under the gun should I run or stay? On one hand I'm thinkin' that I better lay low But then on the other what a way to go What kind of fix have I got me into? I'm darned if I don't, danged if I do She's got me wide-eyed tongue-tied beside myself I'm tore up talk me down I might need help Hold me back boys, I ain't thinkin' straight My head's cryin' run but my heart's sayin' wait On one hand I'm thinkin' that I better lay low But then on the other what a way to go What kind of fix have I got me into? I'm darned if I don't, danged if I do Yeah, on one hand I'm thinkin' that I better lay low But then on the other what a way to go What kind of fix have I got me into? I'm darned if I don't, danged if I do Yeah, on one hand I'm thinkin' that I better lay low But then on the other what a way to go What kind of fix have I got me into? Well, I'm darned if I don't, danged if I do Yeah, I'm darned if I don't, danged if I do Yeah, I'm darned if I don't, danged if I do
