Playing to The Firmament Lyrics

Well, there are kids, lots of kids
Who put the law inside a circle
As they jump, I hope that you will up and down, up and down
When did you cave in to this role that you were cast in
When did dress-up turn to fashion
Throw your gown up and down
There's always the sky, let it hear what you're saying
For all that you were saying
And let it take you apart to the elements of praying
Till we are only playing to the firmament
Till we are only playing to the firmament
Ah, yeah

In the rain, in the rain
People rush around on cold streets
Here's a shell to hear the heartbeats very loud, very loud
Where's the pain, it's only rain
It's only slowing down a workday
Only singing happy birthday to a crowd, very loud

So turn on the sky, let it hear what you're saying
For all that you were saying
And let it take you apart to the elements of praying
Till we are only playing to the firmamentDar Williams - Playing to The Firmament - http://motolyrics.com/dar-williams/playing-to-the-firmament-lyrics.html
Till we are only playing to the firmament

And when did sex get so mean
When did crime get so clean
You know, I just can't seem to find the soul in this striving
Why not play to a dream
Cause the world is too green
For all this baaaaad driving

What's the rush? Dip your brush into this twilight
There are leaves upon the skylight
Trace your hand, trace your hand
Oh, Mr. Red, he shot a head
He shot a head inside a circle
On a bad day, who would you kill
Take a stand, trace your hand

There's always the sky
Let it hear what you're saying
For all that you were saying
And let it take you apart to the elements of praying
Till we are only playing to the firmament
Till we are only playing to the firmament
