I think of everything most of the time when it's tomorrow, and I have absolutely nothing on my mind when it's today. So,we start it all over again; We start a song but I'm already gone, thinking only what I thought of yesterday, I cannot make my little fingers play. There's a ghost that haunts this very stage, although he acts only half my age; It's me, it's me after only 28 years. I hear the angel band singing my last song,but they're getting all of the lyrics wrong. I scare myself, now if I could only scare you, but that just wouldn't do. I think of all the things that I will never see, before tomorrow, and then of all the things that will not look at me, when it's today. So, we start it all over again; We start it strong and I sing it too long, hoping everything will somehow fade away and I will somehow be alive another day. There's a ghost that haunts this very stage, although he acts only half my age; It's me, it's me after only 28 years. I hear the angel band singing my last song,but they're getting all of the lyrics wrong. I scare myself, now if I could only scare you, but that just wouldn't do.

That's not what you expected to find in that jar. Last night when you threw it in the backseat of your car it was full of lightning bugs. Now it's full of Thunderbugs. We all want to be something better than we were the night before, and we all want to know we've effected both your eyes and your ears. When we're stuck in a jar for too long we become something wonderful. That's not what you expected to find in that jar. Last night when you threw it in the backseat of your car it was full of lightning bugs. Now it's full of Thunderbugs. We make a loud sound and break the walls down, we're flying around and scaring everyone. We never knew how this all would work out, but now we're ready to take on anyone.

While you're awake you don't think of me. You think of everything else you know. But, when you sleep your mind remembers me, and pulls me toward the stars above. Voyager, what have you done to me? I think you're dreaming me. You're all alone. Forevermore, you fall away from me and dream of the trajectory that pulls you home. When you fall to sleep, I will meet you there. When will you wake up? I don't really know. But when you wake up, I'll have to go. Voyager, what have you done to me? I think you're dreaming me. You're all alone. Forevermore, you fall away from me and dream of the trajectory that pulls you home.
