Song Description
media folks pegged as some kind of stoner anthem. I'd call it a sleepy pop tune about pharmacology student doing a little too much homework.

Lyrics
Spaceships
The summer came and went so fast and you're not looking back.
Your days are pulling slot machines and passing evil dreams
Well I did what I could do not to bother you
but like a telescoping lens, I just can't look away... I zoom in
You studied pharmacology... funny how that goes
Now you're seeing trails and following footprints in the snow
Your stars have all gone numb but the darkness is something
We could turn off the sun - even that wouldn't spoil your fun
I'll be drinkin' with my brothers soon in the South Dakota sky
and we'll be laughin' as we watch the Spaceships goin' by
and each one is designed to get lost in the sky
over sleepy towns and you hear the humming sound
