  • The band’s gone
    And I’m laid up
    At a hotel counting days
    in Aurora

    A thousand miles from home
    Looking for signs of life
    Circling the parking lot
    Just to see blue sky
    I watch planes fly
    Over the city
    Caught in space-time
    Nowhere to be

    A billionaire in Texas
    Built a rocket ship
    To send the oldest man in space up
    Up on a pleasure trip

    And when he came down crying
    On the local news
    He couldn’t stop talking
    About the color blue

    It’s a thin line
    Over the planet
    Just a thin line
    Between us and nothingness

    The bus left this morning
    They took my name off the marquee
    How long can I stare at the ceiling
    Before it kills me?
    Yeah, it kills me so

    I watch planes fly
    Over and over
    Ripping space-time
    Out in Aurora

    Over and over out in Aurora
    Over and over out in Aurora
    Over and over out in Aurora Writer/s: Andrew Lappin, Cassandra Jenkins, Isaiah Gage, Reid Jenkins, Rob Moose
