Playing To The Firmament Lyrics by Dar Williams

Playing To The Firmament Lyrics

    There are kids, lots of kids, who put the law inside a circle
    As they jump, I hope that you will up and down, up and down
    When did you cave into this role that you were cast in
    When did dress-up turn to fashion, throw your gown up and down

    There's always the sky, let it hear what you're saying
    For all that you are saying
    And let it take you apart, to the elements of praying
    Til we are only playing to the firmament
    Til we are only playing to the firmament

    In the rain, in the rain, people rush around on cold streets
    Here's a shell to hear their heartbeats very loud, very loud
    Where's the pain, it's only rain, it's only slowing down a work day
    Only singing happy birthday to a crowd, very loud

    So turn on the sky, let it hear what you're saying
    For all that you are saying
    And let it take you apart, to the elements of praying
    Til we are only playing to the firmament
    Til we are only playing to the firmament

    And when did sex get so mean, when did crime get so clean
    You know I just can't seem to find the soul in this striving
    Why not play to a dream, cause the world is too green
    For all this bad driving

    What's the rush, dip your brush into this twilight
    There are leaves upon the skylight, trace your hand, trace your hand
    Mr. Ed, he shot ahead, he shot ahead inside a circle
    On a bad day, who would you kill, take a stand, trace your hand

    There's always the sky, let it hear what you're saying
    For all that you are saying
    Let it take you apart to the elements of praying
    Til we are only playing to the firmament
    Til we are only playing to the firmament

    . . . . . . fade . . .
