This song has one of the strangest bass parts I've ever written. I'm not even sure what I'm doing, or how it fits into the key, but it seems to.
I really loved the chords that Russ came up with for this song - they told a story, but they had so much space in between to paint in.
The "logic to the stars" is definitely a reference to astrology. I don't know if Laura is into astrology, but if she is, he was probably poking fun at her a little.
lyrics
Maybe there's logic to the stars,
but, baby, the space all seems so far.
Crazy: the way you eat my mind.
We spend this little life connecting psychic power lines.
And I know you know
I know you know
I know you know
I know you know
I know we know
where the beauty in distance lies.
And I think you think
I think you think
I think you think
I think you think
I think you think
your thought is like paradise.
Your beauty's like
la la..
