Suntrapper

Driver let me tell you a secret

A secret in the shape of a song

Heard something move in the dark outside

I lay awake hardly breathing

shaking all night long

It came out of the southern sky

It drove into our humble town

We lay our hands upon its side

My sister she laid her body down

She was gone gone gone

She was gone gone gone

I was born 20 miles from here

I’ve never seen anything else

But that night I saw tall buildings

Made of glass and a million other pictures (of all the faces)

And she was gone gone gone

She was gone gone gone

She was gone gone gone

Suntrapper took her away

A sparrow flew against the pane of glass

People came running all around

They moved from all directions

Ground opened up and the trees came down

I pulled the car to the side of the road

Checked all directions on a tourist map

Overhead 747 jet engines

ready for track

And she was gone gone gone

She was gone gone gone

She was gone gone gone

Suntrapper took her away
