Trey Anastasio Ruby Waves
[Verse 1]
Blue morning, walking down the street
Hear the rhythm from the soles of my feet
On the pavement, and I reach out my hands
And touch the building that's beside me
And I look into the air up above my head
Thin layer of clouds and the open sky
All the stars are handles on doors
If I could touch 'em with my fingers they would open up
[Chorus]
And a sea of love, ruby waves would pour down on my head
An ocean of love would carry me up from this prison of lies
If I could touch the stars with my fingertips, the doors would open all around me
Could escape from this prison of lies and swim in the ocean up above my head
[Verse 2]
When I die I'll turn into a tiny ball of energy
And I'll go flipping and floating up into the sky
And bounce off the stars like a pinball machine, look around
All the lights on the machine are flashing
'Til they explode and the particles join up with...
[Chorus]
A sea of love, ruby waves pourin' down on my head
An ocean of love would carry me up from this prison of lies
If I could touch the stars with my fingertips, the doors would open all around me
Could escape from this prison of lies
Could escape from this prison of lies
