Straw Dog - Something Corporate

Staring into the intersection, she thinks that she can fly and she might

Holding on in a new direction, she’s gonna try it tonight

The closer I get to feeling, the further that I’m feeling from alright

The more I step into the sun, the more I step out of the light

Jessica is covered inablanket on a Sunday porch

Thinking of the weekends she would party in the city

She doesn’t have a flame, she’d prefer to burn out like a torch

If she gets nowhere in life, at least she know’s she pretty

She said, Hey, now, the straw dog’s out in the street

Hey now, there’s chemicals in the clouds

Hey now, they’re calling the police

They won’t get to us, anyhow.

The moon is shining now and shadows are what’s left of all the noise

Simple silhouettes and cutouts as if we had the choice

He listens closely now, swears that he can hear a voice

That’s calling him and saying

Hey, now, the straw dog’s out in the street

Hey now, there’s chemicals in the clouds

Hey now, they’re calling the police

They won’t get to us, anyhow.

What does it take to be a superhero in our world?

Make no mistake that these villains always get the girl

We can escape, and then we’d skate away from all of this

And no one ever does.

She’s saying Hey, now, the straw dog’s out in the street

Hey now, there’s chemicals in the clouds

Hey now, they’re calling the police

They won’t get to us, anyhow.
