[Verse 1]

Someone's hidin' out

We can't forget about

Things that people do when they're free

Like visitors from space

It's hard to find a place

To blend in and go unrecognized


[Verse 2]

I'm waiting for a sign

I'm standing on the road

With my mind outstretched to you

I'm pickin' somethin' up

I'm letting somethin' go

Like a dog I'm fetchin' this to you


[Bridge]

Pictures in mind

Rows of poppy fields

Harmony entwined

Changing gear that grinds

Pictures in my mind

Pictures in my brain

Electrical energy

Fighting drugs with pain

There's a war inside

Pictures in my brain


[Verse 3]

I'm looking for a job

I don't know what I'm doing

My software's not compatible with you

But this I can't deny

I know that you can fly

'Cause I'm here on the ground without you


[Verse 4]

Angel without wings

Owner without things

Sharpshooter without rings around you

The road we used to ride

Together side by side

Has flowers pushing through the dotted line
