lyrics

The moon was full but i couldn’t see it
so i settled for the orange sky
opened the door and wondered why
I didn’t leave the house all day
and how the sky can look that way
if i’m happy or just comfortable
if i’m too scared to quit my job

they say the color in the sky is from pollution
they say that about the tap water too

and the uhaul is double parked outside
but the kids on the block still duck behind
a car each time a cop drives by
and the c train always runs on time and it’s brand new
with bright fluorescent lights that jolt me quickly awake
and there’s no one on the intercom singing c to one six eight

just a robot’s voice with dings and beeps to signify that we’re still moving forward
it signifies that we’re still making progress

then the train rolls back around
and i walk home with my head down
to see the uhaul pull away
but i’m not even here to stay


i can take the train heading in either direction
and it still takes me right to the same place
it still gets me to work on time (5 minutes late)
