I heard the music playing and I was back on Pine Street
Under a rainbow after dinnertime
I’m trying to raise the ghost of Aldous Huxley
I’m seeking absolution of my crime
And there’s no secret to repetition
There’s money in it
Check your rosary

We should learn to let it go
There’s nothing we can do
When you cry I go to sleep
When I sleep I dream of you

And so you walk possessed among the cars and buildings
No slave not desperate to belong
It only takes a spark to start you glowing
‘Cause I know you’ve been burning all along
And there’s no secret
To building something
Just find the darkness
And drag your head through it

We should learn to let it go
There’s nothing we can do
When you cry I go to sleep
When I sleep I dream of you

And in the end it’s nothing but a childhood wishlist
And idle beauty is the first to go
And when the waves at last eclipse the city skyline
We can forget the life we used to know
And there’s no secret
To building something
Just find the darkness
And drag your head through it

We should learn to let it go
There’s nothing we can do
When you cry I go to sleep
When I sleep I dream of you
