So I walk on down the road see a house and peek inside
Lovers under neon lights and he says "She'll never be mine"
The world stops, an hour drags all along like it's a day
So I move out the back after tripping on my way
It's so hard to say goodbye when we're laying down in bed
'Cause I go to stand and I end up kissing you instead
Feel his heartbeat on the forest floor, the poets paces pause to sore
"Will it sell to a poor man?" I'm not sure
He's been down this road before
She takes his hand, leads to a land where every raindrop tastes of sand
He sees her hunger stare into the souls of other men
She slips, he falls into a life that he has only spent
Every meal is heaven sent and I don't know if I can pay the rent
There's a man for goodness sake got his feet in sugar lake
His corn cob pipe in waving wake, when his big bag did turn to shake
She freezes over suddenly with his ankles trapped inside
Misery did hold her breath but to me she did confide
Let's soar, get sore, c'mon baby give me some more
Reduced to a grim statistic and I heard hammering on the floor
And every baby bird has got to fly out from the nest
Doesn't know which way he heads 'cause he knows nowhere is best
And like his wings into the sky I got my feet down on the ground
And as he's flying up ahead I'll be rambling all around
Half the lands on fire man, and the other half is aflood
I got my head up in the clouds and my boots down in the mud
