Lyrical Interpretation: jumplittlechildren.net - transcribed from 12/30/00 performance

Porcelain clouds and plaster (pastel?) skies
Amethyst stars and diamond lightning
Maybe these heavenly bodies are spinning in orbit
Behind my eyes

But tonight, not so far above me
Cause tonight, I'm sleeping under this utopian sky
And I don't ever want to wake up
Please don't wake me up

Indigo wind and violet rain
Emerald seas and amber waves
Maybe all of these colors belong on some canvas
Forgotten by time

But tonight, not so far above me
Cause tonight, I'm sleeping under this utopian sky
And I don't ever want to wake up
Please don't wake me up

Maybe that's me up there
Floating out past the satellite
Maybe I'm falling
Floating up in the atmosphere
Maybe I'll never come back down
