[Verse 1]
They keep on moving the starting line
In the windshield light where we searched ourselves
The chest pocket, the best way to go
Outside Chicago where we stuck to the streets
I was second-guessing stars and they were triple-guessing me
Comets cut across the sky, leaving Indiana lost
A million highway cars parked, breathing each second in
Forever ready to live, standing still until the end of time
They keep moving on the starting line
[Chorus 1]
We saw it all, in vivid emptiness
All the florescent magic from the time we killed
We can still have a couple more light speed dreams
There’s no turning back, even if we break down
[Verse 2]
They keep on moving the starting line
On the trail I took back to your consciousness
If you would search myself, I could search yourself
Outside Chicago, in the static motorcade
The re-enactors poised on the shattered sea glass
It doesn’t matter what they say
They keep, keep, they keep moving on the starting line
[Chorus 2]
Forever flashing those animal eyes
The muscle memory, it won't let go
We saw it all in vivid emptiness
We can still have a couple more light speed dreams
As long as we know we don't know anything
As long as we know we don't know anything
As long as we know we don't know anything
As long as we know we don't know anything
[Outro]
They keep on moving the starting line
Startling line
They keep on moving the starting line
Startling line
