Boardwalks in the Static

[Intro]
[Verse]
The rig is rusted to the bone
I sit here on this lunar stone
The neon dust begins to glow
Where did all the summer go?
The cargo bay is empty now
I’m broken but I don't know how
[Pre-Chorus]
I turn the dial to the right
Searching for a ghost tonight
The frequency is thin and cold
A story that was never told
[Chorus]
I see the boardwalks in the sky
Watching the blue planet fly by
I’m catching static in my ears
Drowning in a thousand years
Baby, are you on the line?
Give me just a single sign
[Post-Chorus]
Static in the neon light
Lost inside the deep of night
Static in the neon light
Waiting for the world to ignite
[Verse]
The 808 is thumping slow
Inside the cabin’s purple glow
I miss the salt upon your skin
And where the ocean would begin
Now it’s just craters and the gray
A million miles from Jersey Bay
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m reaching for a faded light
Across the vacuum of the night
The transmission is getting old
Like a secret I couldn't hold
[Chorus]
I see the boardwalks in the sky
Watching the blue planet fly by
I’m catching static in my ears
Drowning in a thousand years
Baby, are you on the line?
Give me just a single sign
[Bridge]
Eighty-seven was the year
When the signal was so clear
Now the Earth is just a spark
Flickering inside the dark
I’m a trucker out of time
Guilty of a cosmic crime
[Hook]
Can you hear me?
Are you near me?
In the static
It’s automatic
[Chorus]
I see the boardwalks in the sky
Watching the blue planet fly by
I’m catching static in my ears
Drowning in a thousand years
Baby, are you on the line?
Give me just a single sign
[Outro]
