I've been sleeping fair
Lately I could swear I'm thinking
Clearer and clearer
And I've been working hard
Looking at my punch card
And my mirror, my mirror
But I daydream in my room
I'm baying at the moon
Ricochet in time to the music
You just pick a day
And I'm in a new destination
I take too many planes
I know too many names
And I forget them
I wanted to know if dreams would lie
You said they would try and I said, "Let them
You just let them"
But I kill dreams in the chase
I slap love in the face
Ricochet in time to the music
You just pick a day
And I'm in a new destination
I crawled up from the sewer
For something that was truer
Than I intended
I ended up on my knees
In this big city I was befriended
I transcended
But I bruise my friends for more
I rail at Heaven's door
Ricochet in time to the music
You just pick a day
And I'm in a new destination
