Lyrics

Tractor Beam

Surfing the flowing summer
She lays breath full in the sunroom
The end of search a bummer
Did she hold it on and on?
I know you'll miss me when I'm gone

End of the line
Endless as it might seem
The future looks so bright
Skyward on a tractor beam
Skyward on a tractor beam

Starlight, you shine as dimming
I guess we're doomed from the beginning
Outside the world kept spinning
Miles beyond what we can see
Something keeps on dragging me

End of the line
Endless as it might seem
The future looks so bright
Skyward on a tractor beam
Skyward on a tractor beam

And a sour taste is all I'll be
In a bitter part of your memory
You can cast my letters to the sea
But you can't find anyone else like me

And a sour taste is all I'll be
In a bitter part of your memory
You can cast my letters to the sea
But you can't find anyone else like me
Anyone else

Skyward on a tractor beam
Skyward on a tractor beam

Else like me
