Straw Dog Lyrics - Ready...break - Something Corporate

Staring into the intersection 

She thinks that she can fly and she might 

Holding on in a new direction 

She's gonna try it tonight 

The closer I get to feeling 

The further that I'm feeling from alright 

The more I step into the sun 

The more I step out of the light 

Jessica is covered in a blanket 

On a sunday porch 

Thinking on the weekends 

She would party in the city 

She doesn't have a flame 

She'd prefer to burn out 

Like a torch 

If she gets nowhere in life 

At least she knows she's pretty 

She says 

Hey now the straw dog's out in the street 

Hey now there's chemicals in the clouds 

Hey now they're calling all the police 

But they wont get to us anyhow 

The moon is shining now 

And shadows are what's left of all the noise 

Simple silhouettes and cut outs 

As if we had a choice 

He listens closely now 

Swears that he can hear a voice 

That's calling him 

And saying 

Hey now the straw dog's out in the street 

Hey now there's chemicals in the clouds 

Hey now there calling all the police 

But they wont get to us anyhow... no 

What does it take to be a super hero in my world 

Make no mistake that these villains always get the girl 

We can escape and then we'd skate away from all of this 

But no one ever does 

She's saying 

Hey now the straw dog's out in the street 

Hey now there's chemicals in the clouds 

Hey now they're calling all the police 

But they wont get to us 

No they'll never get to us 

Hey now the straw dog's out in the street 

Hey now there's chemicals in the clouds 

They're calling all the police 

But they wont get to us 

Na na na na na na na na now
