Black Box Recording Lyrics - Singles - Firewater

Slung from the hoary heavens 

With disbelief suspended 

On a shining pendulum of faith 

Hanging half awake and dreaming 

Of burning cities gleaming 

Beneath a sky of ash and slate 

And as the fuselage goes dark 

You're thinking ain't it funny 

Still owe some people money 

It's hard to keep from laughing 

No smoking sign is flashing 

Your mask descends without a sound 

Your starboard hope receding 

Even the sky is bleeding 

You sure could use a smoke right now 

And all the people wave their arms 

But you can't hear them screaming 

You're floating through the ceiling 

There's no gravity that can bring you down again 

It's almost over now 

And you hope they don't wake you up 

Now the sun is shining 

Somewhere the sun is shining 

But it sure ain't shining on you now
