lyrics

Overhead, the ceiling's painted blue and it is
barely kept just outside of our grasp and we might
reach it if we stood on tip toes on our chairs
And up ahead, and over every hill we cannot speculate
the pavement will continue we might find
ourselves lost in the endless blue paint void

Tumbling round and round
with the engine wining as we plummet down
tumbling round and round
with the wheels still spinning searching for the ground

Boundlessness is not the sort of thing we tend to celebrate
we like our bedroom walls that we can
decorate with fiction, block up our windows
and insulate our walls with the conception that
beyond our glass, beyond our yard and swing-set
it is none of our concern, beyond the apple tree...

Tumble round and round
and your limbs will flail in desperate search of ground
Tumble round and round
and there's nothing you can wrap your arms around
and when you break your voice no one will hear a sound.
