Lyrics
Photographs walk on the edge of the room
Photographs are placed strategically around the room's perimeter.
They cover the plaster and paint
They conceal imperfections in the walls, covering plaster and paint.
Opening up as the light of the moon
As the moonlight enters, these images become more visible.
Goes dancing down Broadway
The moonlight metaphorically dances down Broadway.

Follow you up to the top of the hill

Where I look with my hitchhiker's thumb

After you go like I knew that you would
The person being observed leaves as expected.
I'm running down seventy one

And all I can touch and all I can taste

And soon I'll be sailing upwards
