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 ina blanket 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."
