I see the signs in Helvetica
That make me feel at home with you
And though it sounds so angelic
I know that it is not the truth
Your eyes are in the mirror of a rented car
I don't know where you're going
But I know that it's far
Far away from this side of the land
Somewhere out west
Like the settlers planned
You said you wanted to catch the sun
And hold it by its rays
I guess you want to grab it when its tired
At the end of the day
Don't let it burn your hands or your teeth
Even if you succeed, don't forget about me
It'll melt your ambitions
And make you suspicious of the pale light
And you'll leave us here in the east
With a permanent night
And outside the carolers started to sing
And I heard the church bells starting to ring
I think I’ve had enough
Found my diamond in the rough
Miles and miles of stars
And nothing else in the sky
And not for one second did we
Ever stop and wonder why
