Lyrics Ruby Waves - Trey Anastasio

Blue morning, walking down the street
Hear the rhythm from the soles of my feet
On the pavement, and I reach out my hands
And touch the building that′s beside me
And I look into the air up above my head
Thin layer of clouds and the open sky
All the stars are handles on doors
If I could touch 'em with my fingers
They would open up

And a sea of love, ruby waves would pour down on my head
An ocean of love would carry me
Up from this prison of lies
If I could touch the stars with my fingertip
The doors would open all around me
Could escape from this prison of lies and swim
In the ocean up above my head

When I die I′ll turn into a tiny ball of energy
And I'll go flipping and floating up into the sky
And bounce off the stars like a pinball machine
Look around
All the lights on the machine are flashing
'Til they explode and the particles join up with

A sea of love, ruby waves pourinG down on my head
An ocean of love would carry me
Up from this prison of lies
If I could touch the stars with my fingertips
The doors would open all around me
Could escape from this prison of lies
Could escape from this prison of lies
