Dear crazy, my body’s growing older
My belly’s getting bigger. The days are growing colder
Been working day and night for a month or two
Working for the man, the bills are overdue
And I meant to keep in touch but the time just blew away
Been thinking about you in the middle of the day
And you know I’ve never been one to speak real strong
So I wrote down some words and put em in a song, yeah
The warm undertow
Sends waves through my bones
It speaks to my soul
Yeah, it pulls me below
And as of lately it’s been getting a little harder
The rope’s been getting tighter. The night’s been getting longer
Been so messed up I forget where I am
Buying new shoes for Mr. Uncle Sam
And I’d like to move to Paris and buy a motorcycle
Just sleep all day and ride all night
Find a little girl and exit the world
I’m climbing up the tree.
I’ll let you know what I see, yeah.
Oh, I want you to know
The warm undertones
Take a drink from my soul
It won’t let me go
Thee most beautiful thing, the morning sun
Painted in your eyes, second to none
Take me on your sacred flight high above the city
I wanna see the morning light shine across your body
An ocean of feeling filled to the brim with love
The time swallowed slow, melts like a stone
The beautiful city below, all alone
The waves crashing over, tides covering up
One thing that I wish I had, to speak in animal
The humans have gone mad. All things come through in waves
Washing ashore, my conscience has been bathed.
My conscience has been bathed.
