Caroline Polachek - Hey Big Eyes Lyrics

I can picture you right now
At a window seat
Crying for nobody, except the world
I can picture you right now
Running down the street
Late for nobody, except the world

Hey big eyes, can you swim?
Swim down to me
Hey red star, can you burn?
Burn down to me

Alight, alight
Alight, alight

Picture me all messed up now
Can't talk to nobody
Can't plan for anything
Except the rain
Today the flags are all flying green
At the embassies
You're here next to me, except you're not

Hey big eyes, can you swim?
Swim down to me
Hey red star, can you burn?
Burn down to me

Alight, alight
Alight, alight

Hey big eyes, can you swim?
Swim down to me
Hey red star, can you burn?
Burn down, burn down

Hey big eyes, can you swim?
Swim down to me
Hey red star, can you burn?
Burn down to me

Alight, alight
Alight, alight
