about

An agnostic hymn - "we're stretching a truth we cannot understand." This song follows a loose narrative about a D.B. Cooper-type character.

lyrics

Company man
Diplomatic baggage in your sweaty hand
From the sky over the city
We will find it wherever it lands

As we’re stretching a truth
We cannot understand
We cannot understand…

Gun in hand
Wasted days
Chanting a tired refrain
From the rooftops
Through the pouring rain

‘Cause we’re stretching a truth
That we can’t understand

Oh sweet sunshine
I’m free-falling
With the pouring rain
Longing
Just to feel your warmth again
