There's traffic in the sky and it doesn't seem to be getting much better
There's kids playing games on the pavement, drawing waves on the pavement
Shadows of the plains on the pavement
It's enough to make me cry, but that don't seem like it will make you feel better
Maybe it's a dream and if I scream it will burst at the seams
The whole place would fall into pieces and then they'd say
Well how could we have known? I'll tell them it's not so hard to tell
You keep adding stones, soon the water will be lost in the well
And puzzle pieces in the ground, no one ever seems to be digging
Instead they're looking up towards the heavens with their eyes on the heavens
The shadows on the way to the heavens
It's enough to make me cry, but that don't seem like it will make you feel better
The answers could be found, we could learn from digging down
But no one ever seems to be digging
Instead they're looking up towards the heavens with their eyes on the heavens

They'll say
Well how could we have known? I'll tell them it's not so hard to tell
You keep adding stones, soon the water will be lost in the well
Words of wisdom all around, but no one ever seems to listen
They're talking about the world, but no one ever seems to listen

The plans on the paper building up from the pavement
The shadows from the scrapers on the pavement
It's enough to make me sigh, but that don't seem like it will make you feel better
The words are all around, but the words are only sounds
And no one ever seems to listen
Instead they'll say
Well how could we have known? I'll tell them it's really hard to tell
Instead they'll say
Well how could we have known? I'll tell them it's really hard to tell
They'll say
Well how could we have known? I'll tell them it's really hard to tell
You keep adding stones, soon the water will be lost in the well
Lost in the well
