lyrics

Chorus:
This is a rendezvous with the man in the moon,
this is a date with the city.
This is a reunion with a ballpoint pen,
a guitar, and the child within me.

Sometimes I'm a bit of a melancholy misfit,
a bit of a sweet and salty sidekick
tryna' kick the sinful side of habit,
drop-kick the crown 'cause I can't have it.

And it lands right here at your feet,
I pick up the name you made for me,
twist on that one-eighty degree, and
don't look back on the burning city,
don't look back.

(Chorus)

The whole world is spinning on its axis,
madness revolving like a door.
So kick up your feet into a handstand,
bring your head closer to the floor,

to bring your mind back down to earth,
put your toes on heaven's shoulders,
feel the blood rush to your soul,
the cavities filling up with wonder.

(Chorus)

Bridge:
We'll always question the cosmos,
causing God's kids to dream with eyes closed,
wondering if stars are just the pinholes
made by the angels in the velvet.

The sky is made of black velvet, oh
I know 'cause I've felt it.

(Chorus)
