LYRICS:
I'll be sleeping under stars tonight
Not sure exactly where I'll be
Maybe underneath the pale moonlight
Or maybe underneath that tree
Black smoke
Writing in the sky tonight
Everything will be alright
If you let go
Humans
All gathered in the place tonight
Everything will be alright
If you let go
Ooooh, ooooh, ooooh
I'll be sleeping under stars tonight
Not sure exactly where I'll be
Maybe underneath the pale moonlight
Or maybe underneath that tree
Black smoke
Writing in the sky tonight
Everything will be alright
If you let go
Humans
All gathered in the place tonight
Everything will be alright
If you let go
Ooooh, ooooh, ooooh
Ooooh, ooooh, ooooh
Black smoke
Writing in the sky tonight
Everything will be alright
If you let go
Humans
All gathered in the place tonight
Everything will be alright
If you let go
Ooooh, ooooh, ooooh
Ooooh, ooooh, ooooh
Ooooh, ooooh, ooooh

Heck you are so amazing... 17 years later since I started listening to you and you still blow my mind.

Crying into my cereal while my one year old applauds, she loves music.

Those last improvised 45 seconds are exceptional. Soothing blues.

Hi, I know that it was a long time ago, and most likely there is nothing to hope for, but will you and Jason reincarnate in "evelyn evelyn" again and write new songs?
