lyrics

Like a moth to a flame i got lost in the pain
Iook a walk through my brain but all the walls looked the same
One standard deviation from myself

I thought I had lost it, I couldn’t really take it
There were pictures on my pages and attics in my basement
We're sitting on a satellite orbiting a fire
Free to move around while walking on a wire

Repeat chorus

East went West in a carnival dress
Bring out the circus, start pitching tents
East Went West, overlooking the edge
Moonbeams in her breath, moonbeams in her breath

Repeat chorus

Basketballs on blacktop, black for the backdrop
haves for the have-nots, Carnegies in ascots,
JFK Ask Not, astronauts last stops,
it's all in the game and it came to the last shot
we are floating through the sky we don't have to drop
they can kick it on the ground we are astronauts
we are hanging from a shoe string, dangling off a moon beam
anything can happen, Oklahoma's got a hoops team

Repeat Chorus
