From the recording Fluorescent Hours
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Over the roofs the wires run Stitching the town to the setting sun Voices inside them, mile after mile Nobody's spoken to me in a while
[Chorus]
Wires above, wires below Everything hums, nothing says hello Wires above, wires below Everyone's talking — where does it go
[Verse 2]
A blackbird sits on the telephone line Carrying words that aren't his and aren't mine Somebody's laughing through the cable and rain Straight through my street and away again
[Chorus]
Wires above, wires below Everything hums, nothing says hello Wires above, wires below Everyone's talking — where does it go
