Staring into the intersection, she thinks that she can fly and she might
  Holding on in a new direction, she's gonna try it tonight
  The closer I get to feeling, the further that I'm feeling from alright
  The more I step into the sun, the more I step out of the light
    Jessica is covered ina blanket on a Sunday porch
  Thinking of the weekends she would party in the city
  She doesn't have a flame, she'd prefer to burn out like a torch
  If she gets nowhere in life, at least she know's she pretty
    She said, "Hey, now, the straw dog's out in the street
  Hey now, there's chemicals in the clouds
  Hey now, they're calling the police
  They won't get to us, anyhow."
    The moon is shining now and shadows are what's left of all the noise
  Simple silhouettes and cutouts as if we had the choice
  He listens closely now, swears that he can hear a voice
  That's calling him and saying
    "Hey, now, the straw dog's out in the street
  Hey now, there's chemicals in the clouds
  Hey now, they're calling the police
  They won't get to us, anyhow."
    What does it take to be a superhero in our world?
  Make no mistake that these villains always get the girl
  We can escape, and then we'd skate away from all of this
  And no one ever does.
    She's saying "Hey, now, the straw dog's out in the street
  Hey now, there's chemicals in the clouds
  Hey now, they're calling the police
  They won't get to us, anyhow."
