I'm turning into stone tonight
Like Perseus without his sword
Biking down State Avenue
Oh, the winter air, it freezes in my lungs
It's hard to get up out of bed
The sun's not even risen yet
Orion's laughing overhead
And I'm turning into stone tonight
Like Perseus without his sword
[Chorus]
These bikes and cars alone under the stars
Alone under the stars
These bikes and cars alone under the stars
Alone under the stars
In my sleep, thunder shook me
I thought it was radiation
I thought the war had begun
I thought at least I won't have to finish the work I left undone
And you're turning into stone tonight
Hands frozen to the plastic of the steering wheel
Stopped at the stoplight
An angel encased in steel, driving down State Avenue
[Chorus x2]
Oh, under the stars [x8]
