there's anthrax in the envelope i opened in my dream   the sky is red and little kids are running, screaming in the street   i tried to run and save them but i had molasses feet   i keep having nightmares and i'm scared to go to sleep      if you fall in i'll jump down   and touch your face while we're both sinking   (stinking thinking) we won't drown   you are my friend   and what we're doing's too important   for our lives to end quite yet      in montreal i got so mad, someone broke into the van   stole my guitar and aaron's bag   then we turned on cnn, watched the towers fall again   and realized that our lives aren't so bad      this is just a test take it with love and you will pass   you will be rewarded if you do your very best   nothing ever goes as planned so don't take anything for granted   if you do the world will kick your ass      the air is filled with computers and carpets   skin and bones and telephones and file cabinets   coke machines, firemen, landing gear, and cement   they say that it's okay but i say don't breathe in      the air is filled with computers and carpets   skin and bones and telephones and file cabinets   coke machines, firemen, landing gear, and cement   they say that it's okay but i say don't breathe that shit in      an angel named gabriel is watching over you   he was a friend mistreated now he's dead so say you're sorry to him   when you say your prayers tonight if you make amends   the gates to heaven here on earth will open up again      if you fall in i'll jump down   and touch your face while we're both sinking   (stinking thinking) we won't drown   you are my friend   and what we're doing's too important   for our lives to end quite yet
