From an empty room on the first floor
As the cars pass by the liquor store
I deconstruct my thoughts at this piano
And it s all that I can do to stay
But all the things that I didn t say to you
before you moved across the country

And from the burning building where I lay
As I watch the stars become the day
The L.A. girls are lacing up their sneakers
They run the boardwalks and the beach
This fishbowl life is all they need
It s everything I needed too
...until I heard the news.

I ll send this message through the speakers
...You told me that you moved
I ll cross this country on a frequency

I am slippin' through
I am slippin' through
I am slippin' into the airwaves
And this is nothing new
You are slipping through my fingers and into the airwaves
The static s where you ll find me...

From the corner by the studio
The gold-soaked afternoon come slow
I deconstruct my thoughts and I am walking by
And on Third Street, the freak show thrives
Santa Monica s alive
Something s not so right inside
Living with the news...

I ll send this message through the speakers
...You told me that you moved
I ll cross this country on a frequency...

I am slippin' through
I am slippin' through
I am slippin' into the airwaves
the static s where you ll find me
And this is nothing new
You are slipping through my fingers and into the airwaves,
into the airwaves

So hang on, it s gonna be a hard day
So hang on, don t panic, don't panic,
there simply is no need
It s gonna be a hard day
It s gonna be a hard day
Don t panic, don't panic
we are hangin' in
we are hangin' in

I am slippin' through
I am slippin' through
I am slippin' into the airwaves
the static s where you ll find me
And this is nothing new
You are slippin' through my fingers and into the airwaves
into the airwaves

It s gonna be a hard day
It s gonna be a hard day
So hang on, don t panic, don't panic,
there simply is no need
It s gonna be a hard day
It s gonna be a hard day
It s gonna be a hard day
Don t panic, don't panic
we are hangin' in
It's gonna be a hard day
we are hangin' in
it s gonna be a hard day
We are hangin' in
