Soon Lyrics
I was walking down the street
A stranger said to me
Be careful what you do
Then when waiting for a train
I heard a strange refrain
Id watch out if I were you, boy
Is something going to happen soon
Somethings going to happen soon
I have a phone that dosent ring
A line that dosent sting
I have a dream where snowflakes fall inside a painted hall
But that dont pay the rent
If you draw a bow draw the strongest
Yes, and if you use an arrow use the longest
Altough I dont spook easily
It has occured to me
Transformation is in the air
Are the heavens conspiring to show me this new thing
Or has it always been there
A stranger said to me
Be careful what you do
Then when waiting for a train
I heard a strange refrain
Id watch out if I were you, boy
Is something going to happen soon
Somethings going to happen soon
I have a phone that dosent ring
A line that dosent sting
I have a dream where snowflakes fall inside a painted hall
But that dont pay the rent
If you draw a bow draw the strongest
Yes, and if you use an arrow use the longest
Altough I dont spook easily
It has occured to me
Transformation is in the air
Are the heavens conspiring to show me this new thing
Or has it always been there

It's about realizing something that was there all the time you couldn't see. Things we pass by everyday but can't see because of all the strange clutter in the world.
This song is about being a poor musician. His phone doesn't ring and his (electric) line doesn't sting because he can't pay the bills. He dreams of air conditioning because he's in North Carolina and it's hot. He's feeling coming change, and he's achieving it by going whole hog (strongest bow, longest arrow).
