The case got cracked in the car; that's not part of the clue. Inside was a non-descript CD-R, and when Lindell played it on his laptop, there was only one track, a song with these lyrics:
Last time I talked to you,
All we are is all so far.
Hope you remember me,
All we are is all so far
You're falling back to me,
You're falling back to me.
Real nice song.
You were lonely and out of place.
You were looking down on me,
Lost out in space.
Laid underneath the stars,
Strung out and feeling brave.
Watch the riddles glow,
Watch them float away.
Down here in the atmosphere,
Garbage and city lights,
You gotta save your tired soul,
You gotta save our lives.
Turn on the radio,
To find you on satellite,
I'm waiting for the sky to fall,
I'm waiting for a sign.
You're falling back to me,
The star that I can't see.
I know you're out there,
Somewhere out there.
You're falling out of reach,
Defying gravity,
I know you're out there,
Somewhere out there.
When you're homesick and need a change.
I miss your purple hair,
I miss the way you taste.
I know you'll come back someday,
On a bed of nails awake.
I'm praying that you don't burn out,
Or fade away.
You're falling back to me,
The star that I can't see.
I know you're out there,
Somewhere out there.
You're falling out of reach,
Defying gravity,
I know you're out there,
Somewhere out there.
The star that I can't see.
I know you're out there,
Somewhere out there.
You're falling back to me,
The star that I can't see.
I know you're out there,
Somewhere out there.
You're falling out of reach,
Defying gravity,
I know you're out there,
Somewhere out there.
Well I know, I know.
You're falling out of reach.
I know...
