On a thursday afternoon   I can see the sun and moon   Shadows strobe at 55   Dash after dash   Dash after line      Telephone poles keep the time   A rhythmic metronome of kinds   It's the same beat as this song   And might just last a lifetime long   Where hours can come and go   Where hours can come and go   On end   On      I saw the light   Since dancing in the night   We played boxes like drums   In the car      On a thursday afternoon   When the wind begins to swoon   A sea of birds   Like waves in flight   Dash after dash   'Til out of sight      And I saw the white   Since dancing in the night   We played boxes like drums   In the car      We drove 7 thousand   Months afar   We played boxes like drums   In the car      On a thursday afternoon   I can see the sun and moon   Shadows strobe at 55   Dash after dash   Dash after line      On a thursday afternoon (3xs)   Dash after dash   Dash after line      I saw the white   Since dancing in the night   We played boxes like drums   In the car
