"She's Going Places" lyrics

I make up a city, drugstore, and a sycamore tree
In my boredom, I build and afford them
I sing for my supper, I fill up a Tupperware jar
With the places of the art, if I made it
And I think that I'm loved, 'cause I know that I've grieved
And I turned twenty-one as I spun on my feet
And I wait every day for the space in between
Turn on first just to circle it, nowhere to be

Oh, she's goin' places
She's goin' places
Sandstone inscriptions or an oracle's visions
Foretold and guaranteed

I long for the mythic, the cold and the cryptic
I swear I can feel it, the cracks in the ceilin'
A note in a bottle, washed up on an east river pier
If I find it, I'll learn what I'm doing here
I think that I'm loved, 'cause I know that I've grieved
And I turned twenty-one as I spun on my feet
And I paint by the numbers, I fill in the blank
And I know that I'm here, but I don't know who to thank

Oh, she's goin' places
She's goin' places
Sandstone inscriptions or an oracle's visions
Foretold and guaranteed

Tell you all that I'm thinking
It's a world that won't happen
So I guess in existing
We are laughing at silence
I've been carved on a keyhole
Undiscovered and ancient
And the rest is just filler
All the rest is just patience

She's goin' places
She's goin' places
Sandstone inscriptions or an oracle's visions
Foretold and guaranteed
