[Verse 1]

I found a good way to get my head unwound

Next thing I know I'm up in the treetops

Sank down the trunk and I hit the ground

Then I bounced back up and got seen by a Cyclops

[Chorus 1]

When I thought I had landed, I was floating in the ether

[Verse 2]

Up in the sky I found rocket components

I hooked 'em up to try to make a new girlfriend

She blew a breaker floating up that high

So she dove down cellar and raided the fuse box

[Chorus 2]

When I thought I had landed, I was floating in the ether

[Bridge 1]

Nobody looks the same in context

Everything I don't touch turns to gold

If you could step aside every time you might try to find a reality check

I won't have to fall my way back home

[Verse 3]

Dodging satellites in disrepair

I'm kinda like getting communal with nature

But there isn't any food, any water or air

So I ordered up an earthquake with a side of glacier

[Chorus 3]

When I re-enter at the Alaskan pipeline, I'm still floating in the ether

[Bridge 2]

I don't even know my own name, 'cept maybe the middle name

I might be a fool but at least I've kept my shame

You ask me if I'll walk with you in the dark, dark rain

But I'm just trying to collect enough evidence to prove that I'm insane

[Bridge 3]

Every time I look in the mirror I see someone else

Who says it makes sense I'm not seeing myself

I slowly get to know that - other person

I realize that it was - I don't know

[Verse 4]

I got a black truck with magwheels and double back pickup

Sometimes I just need to be alone

Hold all my calls, I'm driving up the walls

I just want to burn some rubber on the rooftops of the buildings in my zone

[Verse 5]

I looked down at the Atlantic saw a funny shape

Mighta been my mama yappin' on the phone

All that crashing turned into a voice

She said "little boy won't you come back home?"

[Outro]

When I thought I had landed, I was floating in the ether

When I thought I could stand it, I was floating in the ether

Avoiding the blanded, I'm still floating in the

Either this is the plan now, or I don't know if I can be there

If this is real now, I am zoning in the reverb

Stuck in the background, I was floating in the ether
