[Verse 1]
All the way home we felt we had a chance
To review the coulds before we were born
And to invite a new game of can'ts

[Verse 2]
Absorbed in the clouds, a voice from afar said
"With the right device you can make a pattern grow
Or you can tune up your car"

[Verse 3]
So we stayed on the train admiring the time
As the lights of the city drew near
We drank a little wine

[Verse 4]
They were blurry and green, outer space in between
With a depth and a form unclear
Then we saw it up ahead

[Hook 1]
A flickering lantern lit up on the tracks
In the rugs that had covered up the bridge
From the banks of a river to the bed
Of a valley upstream to the place where you live
[Instrumental Break]

[Hook 2]
The glass on the lantern cast back the sight
Of a drive-in movie we drove by below
We saw where we'd been in the pictures within
Projecting all the places we would go

[Hook 3]
So we followed the scene and flowed up your steps
To a smooth wooden floor in a trance
The train whistle melody wove through the trees
And in through the door to signal the turns of a dance
