lyrics

I KNOW A GIRL THAT LIKES TO GET HIGH. SHE ASKED ME IF I KNEW HOW TO FLY. I TOLD HER WE SHOULD GIVE IT A TRY. SHE SAID HOLD MY HAND AND CLOSE YOUR EYES. *NOW WE'RE FLYING FASTER AND FURTHER NOW AND THE STARS RUSH PAST US FASTER SOMEHOW AND MOTION GLIDES OVER OUR SKIN YA I'M FEELING BETTER THAN I'VE EVER BEEN. THEN I KISSED HER, KISSED HER OVER AND OVER AGAIN AS OUR BODIES RISE INTO THE HEAVENS. THEN I HAD TO ASK THIS STRANGE GIRL A QUESTION I REALY REALLY REALLY WANTED TO KNOW. IS THERE SOMEWHERE OUT HERE IN THE HEAVENS WHERE WE CAN GO AND WATCH STARS EXPLODE? * CAUSE BACK ON EARTH WE JUST HAVE SONGS TO PLAY AND AT NIGHT TIME WHEN IT'S THE BEST AND SOMETIMES WE LIKE BLACKLIGHTS MORE THAN WE LIKE SUNSETS, AND AFTER THE RAIN I IMAGINE A FACE REFLECTING IN SO MANY BEAUTIFUL WAYS. THAT NIGHT I NEVER OPENED MY EYES, MAYBE I SHOULDN'T BE TOO SURPRISED, I THOUGHT I WAS LOST IN FOREVER NIGHT UNTIL I SEEN HER FACE SHINING BRIGHT*

These ballisticaly loaded tunes purposely deny a certain closure that is intended to keep one hitting the replay button. Well played Smirk, well played. jfpOne23
