There's a man holding a megaphone
He must have been the voice of God
The bystanders claimed they saw angels flyin'
Up and down the block

Well, they must have been attached to wires
I'd seen one layin' in the lawn
With a broken arm
So, I called 9...11, well...

That's one less founded opinion
One more cause for a dispute
So, the street filled, like a basin
Up with cameras and their crews

And they washed away the rumors
Leavin' just the concrete truth
It was a spectacle
No, I-I mean a miracle

So, I fell like that girl from a balance beam
A gymnasium of eyes all were holdin' on to me
I lifted one foot to cross the other
And I felt myself slippin'

It was a small mistake
Sometimes, that's all it takes

Now I'm starin' at my wrist
Hopin' that the time is right
When the planets will align
There'll be no planets to align

Just the carcass of the sun
And little painted marbles
Spinning senseless through an
Endless...black...sky

It was in a foreign hotel bathtub
I baptized myself in change
And one-by-one I drowned all of the
People I had been

I emerged to find the parallels were fewer
I was cleansed
I looked in the mirror
And someone new was there

But, I was as helpless as a chess piece
When I was lifted up by someone's hand
And delivered from the corner
My enemies had got me in

But in all of my salvation
I still felt imprisoned
Inside that holding cell
That is myself

So, I wait for the day
When I'll hear the key
As it turns in the lock
And the guard will say to me

"Oh, my patient prisoner
You waited for this day and finally
You are free, you are free
You are free...zing."

Now I'm staring at the sun
Waitin' for it to explode
Because a day is gonna come
Don't know when, but it will come

And we'll finally know the way
Out of here

And I'll throw away this wrinkled map
And my chart of stars and compass, cracked
And I'll climb that tree all wet with sap
To avoid the hungry beasts below

I'll cut out my lover's tongue and sing
Of a graveyard gray and a garden green
And we won't have to worry no more
No, we won't have to wonder again

About how this song or story ends
About how this song and story will...end
