lyrics

It's there in the distance for my innocent eye,
I'm able to see it when I don't really try,
It's flat on the earth and yet it floats like a dream,
I know its organic but it seems part machine
It's louder than thunder and it's as silent as snow,
It seems ready to stay and it seems ready to go,
It's logically sacred and its speaking to me,
It's there in the distance the way it should be,
There in the distance

Sometimes it looks just like a tornado cloud,
Ghostly and grim, an executioner's shroud,
Then it shimmers and dances and plays in the sun,
And it shines like a new world where life has begun
There was this one night when daddy stood up,
He said, I just got to reach it, I have witnessed enough,
I don't really care if this means that I die,
It's there in the distance and I just got to try
There in the distance

Yeah, there in the distance I think I see my one true love,
She's waving to me, and now she's rising up on angel wings
There in the distance

I'm just like you, friend, I suffer the dream,
I sift through the ciphers to see what they mean,
Now it doesn't matter if I get there alone,
It's there in the distance and I think its my home
There in the distance

Hey, I'm thinking that if we could turn off the TV for a while
And put down the microchips, maybe we could, you know,
Bring that distance to us, get in touch with our inner horizons,
Something like that...
In other news, you are being watched, you are being watched...
Stay tune for further developments...
It's there in the distance...
