Lyrics
We feel the pressure drop on the 82nd Avenue bus,
The air gets thick with what we haven't yet discussed.
The whole sky's gone the color of a day-old bruise,
We're holding our breath for the coming news.

And it's a low barometer in our bones,
A static on the airwaves and the telephones.
A quiet ache for a time we haven't lost,
Counting up the future's cost.
[Verse 2]

And it's a low barometer in our bones,
A static on the airwaves and the telephones.
A quiet ache for a time we haven't lost,
Counting up the future's cost.
[Outro]
We feel the pressure drop on the 82nd Avenue bus,
The rain begins to fall for what will become of us.
