[Verse 1] Strip away all the noise Leave only the beautiful things When I open up the throttle It rises smooth, it sings April wind is damp tonight Cool in a gentle way Moonlight shines on asphalt Still wet from the rain --- [Pre-Chorus] From somewhere behind me I think I hear your voice “It’s getting kind of cold” Though no one’s really there Hey, even now I’m still Caught inside your swirl Wrapped up in that soft Downward kind of feeling --- [Chorus] Waves and engine sounds Over and over again Pain and pleasure melt Till they become the same Inside a crystal glass sphere The whole world is sealed in light You look at me so straight Like you already know it all --- [Verse 2] Fewer traffic lights now Tail lights grow more thin At last the world is moving At its natural speed again Hey, all your little secrets Those simple little things I already knew them I just pretended not to see --- [Pre-Chorus 2] A pistachio shell Hard and hard to crack You open it so easy Like it means nothing at all When you smoke a cigarette You look into a world I’ve never known Then suddenly you fade away Like white smoke drifting off --- [Chorus] Waves and engine sounds Over and over again Pain and pleasure melt Till they become the same Inside a crystal glass sphere The whole world is sealed in light You look at me so straight Like you already know it all --- [Bridge] Losing more and more Though there should be nothing left to lose Losing more and more Like falling with no end in view --- [Final Chorus] Strip away all the noise Leave only the beautiful things When I open up the throttle It rises smooth, it sings Waves and engine sounds Over and over again Pain and pleasure melt Till they become the same Inside a crystal glass sphere The whole world is sealed in light You look at me so straight Like you already know it all
