We flew over the Cascades We were forced to behave while we sat Rows are turning I crossed some standard state lines I finally found myself so far away from home Even though New England tree dust goes through us Are bones are cold as stick and stones We flew over the Cascades Just to find ourselves in storms we've never known The winds are like a beast with wings and yes Everything was blown so far away And I fell down, I fell to call its name Even after hours of waiting There was no telling when the storm would find its way Lands we tried to memorize Were no longer acting temperatures of red Through the night the storm held me down Bend my neck and said "it'd be ok" I stared into the fury And the beauty of its overwhelming strength The winds are like a beast with wings and yes Everything was blown so far away And I fell down, I fell to call its name I saw a dim light in the mouth of the beast So I followed it in It's too late to retreat It swallowed me whole My flesh turned into meat And I can't look back now Cause the beast has come clean We flew over the Cascades We were forced to behave
