Traffic In The Sky

Traffic In The Sky

Jack Johnson

There\'s traffic in the sky - and it doesn\'t seem to be getting much better

There\'s kids playing games on the pavement

Drawing waves on the pavement - mm hm

Shadows of the planes on the pavement - It\'s enough to make me cry

But that don\'t seem like it could make it feel better - Maybe it\'s a dream and if I scream

it will burst at the seams and - this whole place will fall into pieces

and then they\'d say...

Well how could we have known? - I\'ll tell them it\'s not so hard to tell

na na na - if you keep adding stones

soon the water will be lost in the well mm hm

Puzzle pieces in the ground - but no one ever seems to be digging

Instead they\'re looking up towards the heavens - with their eyes on the heavens

mm hm - the shadows on the way to the heavens - mm hm

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 digging down

but no one ever seems to be digging - instead they\'ll say...

Well how could we have known? - I\'ll tell them it\'s not so hard to tell - na na na

if you keep adding stones - soon the water will be lost in the well - mm hmmm

Words of wisdom all around - but no one ever seems to listen

They talk about their plans on the paper - Building up from the pavement - mm hm

there\'re shadows from the scrapers on the pavement - mm hm

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...

Well how could we have known? - I\'ll tell them it\'s really not so hard to tell - na na na

If you keep adding stones - soon the water will be lost in the well

lost in the well mm mm mm
