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 Mmm hmm
 Shadows of the planes on the pavement Mmm hmm
It?s enough to make me cry
But that don?t seem like it will make it feel better
Maybe it?s a dream and if I scream
It will burst at the seams
Whole place would fall into pieces

                A    G#
And then they?d say
G                         A
Well how could we have known
                        D
I?ll tell them it?s not so hard to
B
 Tell
   G
Nah nah nah
              A
You keep adding stones
              D
Soon the water will
               B
Be lost in the well
G                  A
Mmmm mmmm

Verse (same as above)
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
Mmm hmmm
The shadows on the way to the heavens
Mmm hmm
It?s enough to make me cry
That don?t seem like it will make it feel better
The answers could be found
We could learn from digging down
But no one ever seems to be digging
Instead they?ll say
Well how could we have known
I?ll tell them it?s not so hard to tell
Nah nah nah
You keep adding stones
Soon the water will
Be lost in the well
Mmmm mmmm
And words of wisdom all around
But no one ever seems to listen
They?re talking about the plans on the paper
Building up from the pavement
Mmm hmm
The shadows from the scrapers on the pavement
Mmm hmm
It?s enough to make me sigh
But that don?t seem like it will make it 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 not so hard to tell
Nah nah nah
You keep adding stones
Soon the water will
Be lost in the well
Lost in the well
Mmmm mmmm mmmm (end on D)
