[Verse 1] There's traffic in the sky And it doesn't seem to be getting much better There's kids playing games on the pavement Drawin' waves on the pavement, mm-mm Shadows of the planes on the pavement, mm-mm [Pre-Chorus 1] It's enough to make me cry But that don't seem like it would make it feel better Maybe it's a dream and if I scream it will burst at the seams Whole place would fall into pieces And then they'd say [Chorus] Well how could we have known? I'll tell them it's not so hard to tell, nah, nah, nah If you keep addin' stones Soon the water will be lost in the well, mm [Verse 2] And puzzle pieces in the ground No one ever seems to be diggin' Instead they're lookin' up towards the heavens With their eyes on the heavens, mm-mm The shadows on the way to the heavens, mm-mm [Pre-Chorus 2] It's enough to make me cry But that don't seem like it would make it feel better The answers could be found, we could learn from diggin' down But no one ever seems to be diggin' Instead they'll say [Chorus] Well how could we have known? I'll tell them it's not so hard to tell, nah, nah, nah If you keep addin' stones Soon the water will be lost in the well, mm [Verse 3] And words of wisdom all around But no one ever seems to listen They're talkin' 'bout their plans on the paper Buildin' up from the pavement, mm-mm The shadows from the scrapers on the pavement, mm-mm [Pre-Chorus 3] It's enough to make me sigh But that don't seem like it would make it feel better The words are all around but the words are only sounds And no one ever seems to listen Instead they'll say [Chorus] Well how could we have known? I'll tell them it's really not so hard to tell, nah, nah, nah If you keep addin' stones Soon the water will be lost in the well, lost in the well, mm, mm-mm-mm
