Jump, Little Children - Utopian Sky (live)

Written by Evan Bivins (who absolutely kills it on the drums here), this is the first live version of this song, played on October 7th, 2000 at Ziggy's in Winston Salem, NC. This song was only performed a few times in concert, and was initially considered to be part of the Vertigo LP, but it was abandoned and forgotten. The band made it available for purchase on their personal label EZChief Records in 2003, but haven't used it for anything else.
This show was recorded and uploaded to archive.org by Will Foy, all credit goes to him.

Porcelain clouds and pastel skies
Amethyst stars and diamond lightning
Maybe these heavenly bodies are spinning in orbit
Behind my eyes
But tonight, not so far above me
Cause tonight, I'm sleeping under this utopian sky
And I don't ever want to wake up
Please don't wake me up
Indigo wind and violet rain
Emerald seas and amber waves
Maybe all of these colors belong on some canvas
Forgotten by time
But tonight, not so far above me
Cause tonight, I'm sleeping under this utopian sky
And I don't ever want to wake up
Please don't wake me up
Maybe that's me up there
Floating out past the satellite
Maybe I'm falling
Floating up in the atmosphere
Maybe I'll never come back down

Remember hearing this song in Atlanta at some point and loved it. I was a little disappointed when it didn't make it onto Vertigo, alas....
