Lyrics
What?
Stars can't fight city lights
They've turned their backs on us
It's true today, I saw it from the plane
Aeroplanes were never built to fly
Down down down down
Don't look down
Don't look now
Crosshairs of our shadow trace the dam
Told that there were people trapped alive
Boulder City looks like coals in the fire
Cabin's perched by satellites
And now it's flying down
We've got a lady pilot
She's not afraid to die
It's true today, I saw it from the plane
We've almost finished reeling in the sky
Power lines once laced the heavens
Pima County looks like coals in the fire

I saw Neko live in Kansas City around 2011..... ? Charmed by her voice 😍💛

[@coreyhudson9855]

Neko could create a magical mind space from singing a cereal box.

[@MrEvans1973]

My wife bought a pair of skeleton leggings after seeing Neko in hers at Coachella in 2013 (?). Now I’m going to see what she thinks of that headpiece!

[@davidstakes9525]

Freaking awesome 🌹

[@stormtrooper253]

So glad she performed this song! One of my faves from Blacklisted! 💟

[@wallybartfay56]

Really liked the stage performance. Strong delivery sung with emotion and lots of heart. Lovely crafted production!

[@skunkcabbagedude]

Invigorating! Those chords make me feel like I’m teetering on the edge of a precipice. 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

[@maurab.5899]

Once a year, when she comes to my town, I go to church, and I receive a sacrament.

[@penguinuprighter6231]

Too cool..great chapeau Neko

[@aquarhapsody]

It has been far too long since I've seen Neko perform live (come back to NC, dammit!). This video gave me a taste of what I've been missing.

[@MrEvans1973]

Agreed! She came here to Charlotte fairly regularly for awhile. ETA Hey, she’ll be at the Orange Peel in Asheville on 9/12! Unfortunately, I’ve reached an age where a four-hour round trip on a Monday night is a no go.

[@aquarhapsody]

@@MrEvans1973 I hear you on the weeknight road trips. No go. I live near Raleigh, and she used to come to the NCMA Amphitheater, Cat's Cradle, etc. I miss it.

[@MrEvans1973]

So did you see her last week? We caught Charlotte…front row!

[@aquarhapsody]

@@MrEvans1973 i couldn't make it. I'm glad you got to go!

[@Robbyfilm]

kinda Helter Skelter riff, love it.

[@mattcisneros5124]

Iconic!

[@JTSunriseMusic]

Beautiful from a Beuauty

[@alextomar6276]

Is that AC Newman in the back?

[@mondoseguendo6113]

Yes. Yes it is 😀
