The Base

[Verse 1]
What I draw today will be recognized as shape
I spoke to the base and the base says we wait
So I smoke an old cigar, while the giant sun fades
See, I spoke to the base, and the base says we wait
The base says we're safe

[Chorus]
Now and then I can see the truth above the lies
Now and then, oh I feel you're truly anesthetized
That's why

[Verse 2]
When I walk today, it's in silence and in rain
Can a man turn the page while he's trying to amaze?
So I hold my arms apart but don't deny you any pain
See, I spoke to the base and the base says we'll win
And the base says we win

{Chorus]
Now and then I can see the truth above the lies
Now and then, oh I feel those beauties, this life belies

[Bridge]
They're like street lights
They tunnel on and on
Into these deep nights
Where the hearts are all on are so steep

So steep, so steep
So steep, so steep
I count the falling stars
So steep
Anonymous forces
So steep
That broken street light
So steep
Life is like a drug (so steep}
Sky less night
So steep
I count the falling stars
So steep
I will not be staying long

{Chorus]
Now and then I can see the truth above the lies
Now and then I can see those beauties that shun my eye
That's right
