Straw Dog

Straw Dog
by 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 in a blanket
On a sunday porch
Thinking on 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 knows she`s pretty She says
Hey now The straw dog`s out in the street
Hey now there`s chemicals in the clouds
Hey now they`re calling all the police
But 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 cut outs
As if we had a 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 all the police
But they wont get to us anyhow, No
instrumental break
What does it take to be a super hero in my world
Make no mistake that these villains always get the girl
We can escape and then we`ll skate away
from all of this And no one ever does
But 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 all the police
But they wont get to us
No, they`ll never get to us
Hey now the straw dog`s out in the street
Hey now there`s chemicals in the clouds
They`re calling all the police
But they won`t get to us
No, they`ll never get to us
no no no
