(Rock)

blackboard chalk in the folds of your mind
you're picking up signals from a nursery rhyme
they choke and they sputter 'neath paperback bones
mother goose loves it in her feather-brained home

yeah, you feel like your heart isn't beating anymore
just pumping electricity you feed it from the cords
it's a shame that you use it right away
or does the television suck it all away?

we're just far away people
with far away dreams
they flew away in flocks with the interweb streams
we're just far away people

tried and true in a technicolor blue
looking pretty good in the grey tones too
indignant you mutter "There isn't any more"
funny your horizon's no sky, just a shore

we're just far away people
feeling out our means
we can't deny the pounding on the doors that we're between

we're just far away people
with far away dreams
they disappeared in cracks as we loosened at the seams

is your wishing worth the while
will dreams give you back your smile
or are they stepping on your toes in your single line file?
are they so far away?
(are they so far away?)
are they so far away?
(are they so faraway?)
are we so far away?
(so far away?)
Don't be so far away!

(Rock)

don't be so far away
don't be so far away...

(passive)

we're not such far away people
with such far away dreams
yeah, our doors are swinging open at the sound of our screams
