lyrics

Something strange about this summer
Been going about my business every day
In a hazier state of mind than I would care to be
Emily, I’ve got myself into quite a bind

‘Cause there’s a sound I keep hearing
It’s nothing less than my life rushing by
I won’t lie, it's kept me up at night more times than I can count
No amount of wishful thinking ever drowns it out

Let’s dig a hole to China
Crack the dull night open wide
Come out blinking at the golden sun hung on the other side
Dig a hole to China
While the gawkers gather round
Make a list of every dream you got
We’ll go and chase them down

I hate my job, hate my apartment
But most of all I hate the way I run
Every Sunday to buy the Times and read of other lives
No surprise they always seem much better than my own

There’s got to be a bigger meaning
Underneath the pavement and the tar
In every particle floating on this dirty city air
I can barely see the blueprint, but I know it’s there

Let’s dig a hole to China
Crack the dull night open wide
Come out blinking at the golden sun hung on the other side
Dig a hole to China
While the gawkers gather round
Make a list of every dream you got
We’ll go and chase them down
