Lonely and numb
He took a chance and oh a little fun
Arthur and Jane
Thieving banks and robbing trains
Laughing as they try to get away
Some kind of cosmic connection
Some kind of movie thing you understand
Oh yeah
Some kind of team
The two set out to find a Gatsby in a frozen town
Protagonists inside a book that I just can't put down
It doesn’t matter if they find a thing, they don’t fall down
It isn’t far from the truth
It isn’t just an excuse
Arthur & Jane are nearly the same
She wants the moon
Well then he’ll rope the moon and pull it down
She loves carnations
So he’ll find a few and make a crown
They live this life like it’s a giant film
Without a crowd
They count on dreams and jump to leave the ground
To leave the ground
Arthur and Jane
Thieving banks and robbing trains
And laughing as they try to get away
And living as they try
