Lyrics/Song Structure:
======================
---> Play Verse A over:
SA:
   Are you missing us
   Maybe wanting to be kissing us
   If you must
   Then please don't be dismissing us
   When we're gone bailin on the bus
Nick:
   Are we immersed in a sea of replicants
   Hard exteriors and fake gold fronts
   Losing yourself in the flavor of the month
   Gotta be a better reason to colonize a star
   Gotta be a better reason man's come so far
---> Play Verse B over:
SA:
   Is that you in the mama-ocean-people-sea
Nick:
   Is that you in this dream I see waving me 
Both:
   Closer with one hand
   While the other shields your eyes as if surprised
   To see the universe begin
---> Play Chorus over:
   Being up on the mindspin
   Are you still glad that it has been
   Six years and seven months
   This is what you want don't front
   I'm feelin it right now
   In this, the gold hour
   Part clock and part man
   Reconciling my life span
---> Play Verse A over:
SA:
   Keeping things whole
   We move out of the space where air flows
   When all of a sudden here we are and here we go
Nick:
   The evolutionary mind turns twists backflips
   In space-time the continuum
   Real-life planetarium
SA:
   It's a natural fact
   Time is speeding up
   There isn't much left
   Heart rate increasing
   Bustin' through your chest compressed
Nick:
   Is your life in the physical
   But out of memory comes a vision
   Which is a miracle yeah that
---> Play Verse B over:
SA:
   Normally we just can't see
Nick:
   It's not natural or typical
   Of our same old thing
Both:
   Livin' too fast
   Unable to grasp the past
   Or the future
   When at last we ripple
   After our big splash
---> Play Chorus over:
   Being up on the mindspin
   Are you still glad that it has been
   Six years and seven months
   This is what you want don't front
   I'm feelin it right now
   In this, the gold hour
   Part clock and part man
   Reconciling my life span
---> Play Bridge over:
Nick:
   You remain and refrain
   From the pain of wasted time
   The last thing on my mind is
   Running high fuel supply
   Reason why
   We just don't quit
   Can you get with
   A melding of two minds
   What's the worst thing you could find
   A paper trail that prevails
   In demystification
   People want to believe in mysteries
   People want to believe in mysteries
   Is the truth so bad?
   Is the truth so bad?
   Is the truth so bad?
   Is the truth so bad?
