Above This Broken World Songtext
von The Rentals

Lift up the blinds; look out (the window)
I don′t believe my eyes (no, I don't)
There′s a hole in the sky the size (of Ohio) O-hi-o

All the stars have aligned (placed just so)
The Mothership could arrive (through a black hole)
It came from the other side (of the cosmos) the-cos-mos

Yes, I
I have this dream sometimes
The Mothership takes my damaged girl to another world
I watch her fly into the ocean of lights
The sky is filled with a million pearls
Above this broken world

I woke-up surprised to find (I was alone)
Ran into a furious night (full of ghosts)
In the tempestuous sky (a cyclone) a-cy-clone

Yeah, there's a hole in the sky the size (of Chicago)
You left all that loved you behind (and went solo)
Wherever you've gone, you will find (there you are, Love)
Yeah, there you are


Yes, I
I have this dream sometimes
The Mothership takes my damaged girl to another world
I watch her fly into the ocean of lights
The sky is filled with a million pearls
Above this broken world

Try as you may, there are things you can′t escape
No, you can′t un-see those self-destructive tragedies
And you may be bound, tethered to the ropes you've found
You can go far away, but some things you can′t escape
(You are who you are, now
You are who you are
You are who you are, now
You are who you are)
You are who you are, now

Yes, I
I have this dream sometimes
The Mothership takes my damaged girl to another world
I watch her fly (I watch her fly) into the ocean of lights
The sky is filled with a million pearls
Above this broken world

(Broken world, damaged girls, a million pearls in space)
(Broken world),
I have this dream sometime (damaged girls), where I watch her fly
(A million pearls in space), I have this dream sometimes...
