   "Traffic In The Sky"
   
   There's traffic in the sky
   and it doesn't seem to be getting much better
   there's kids playing games on the pavement
   drawring waves on the pavement
   shadows of the planes on the pavement
   its enough to make me cry
   but that don't seem like it would make it feel better
   maybe its a dream and if I scream
   it will burst at the seams
   this whole place will fall to pieces
   and then they'd say...
   
   well how could we have known?
   I'll tell them it's not so hard to tell
   if you keep on adding stones
   soon the water will be lost in the well
   
   puzzle peices in the ground
   but no one ever seems to be digging
   instead they're looking up towards the heavens
   with their eyes on the heavens
   there are shadows on the way to the heavens
   it's enough to make me cry
   but that don't seem like it would make it feel better
   The answers could be found
   we could learn from digging down
   but no one ever seems to be digging
   instead they'll say...
   
   well how could we have known?
   I'll tell them it's not so hard to tell
   if you keep on adding stones
   soon the water will be lost in the well
   
   words of wisdom all around
   but no one ever seems to listen
   they're talking about thier planes on paper
   building up from the pavement
   there are shadows from the scrapers on the pavement
   it's enough to make me sigh
   but that don't seem like it would make it feel better
   the words are all around
   but the words are only sounds
   and no one ever seems to listen
   instead they'll say...
   
   well how could we have known?
   I'll tell them it's not so hard to tell
   if you keep on adding stones
   soon the water will be lost in the well
