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]
