Letra de Telescope

[Verse 1]
I guess it's way too late for half-assed sympathy
Or to ask if there is anything you need from me
That neglected Mississippi bridge is crumbling
And I'm stuck in Missouri squinting to see Illinois
[Verse 2]
So I'm on the banks just trying
To get my message through
But my waves and jumps
Will clearly be no help to you
And any sacrifice is worthless, that's another truth
A mile-long current separates the man from the boy
[Chorus]
So leave, put away your telescope
Or at least point it upwards to the sky
The close-ups of my face have to be getting old
And the sun will turn the stars in a little while
[Verse 3]
The gasoline may be cheaper
And the firework stands linger
It's getting dark and I know that you can't swim
But there's nothing here worth crossing for
Even if you could
[Chorus]
So leave, put away your telescope
Or at least point it upwards to the sky
The close-ups of my face have to be getting old
And the sun will turn the stars in a little while
[Outro]
So leave, pack up your riverboat
Be thankful that you have something that's still afloat
Maybe take the muddy back towards Murphysboro
The sun will turn to stars in a little while
