I must apologize for all this chaos
I swear I'll make things better for us
Packing a pencil and a big eraser
Find out how each word sounds surrounded
Find out how each word sounds surrounded
There's an air raid siren in my town
Near where the creek flows under the boulevard
I'm just connecting the dots
I'm just connecting the dots

I must apologize for all this chaos
The bright lights and bass drums are getting to me
I'd like the future suit but not the facelift
And I could sing these words surrounded
And I could sing these words surrounded
There's a lottery winner in my town
He makes the news without a story to tell
I'm just connecting the dots
I'm just connecting the dots

I tried to get lost in the woods
But my compass was too good

There's an air raid siren in my town
Near where the creek flows under the boulevard
I'm just connecting the dots
I'm just connecting the dots
I'm just connecting the dots
I'm just connecting

When I'm walking in my Jesus shoes
I pray I'll never have to choose
Between the devil and the deep blue sea
Mountain over me
