lyrics

Back in the summer days I walked the streets
With my head between my mind my thoughts they start to creep
Well I could never hold them back or hope to find a way
A way, to take those thoughts away

Well it was so ridiculous at home
With everyone just champin at the bone
So back a bag and hit the road and you're up on the throne
It's the mystery you feel outside alone.

So riddle me a rhyme I wanna hear
Do you ever feel your mind is stuck in second gear
Just talk to the crazy man up on the hill
He'll tell you why he goes there
With nothing going on nothing to do

Well I did never like your noise no way
No you've been singing the same old tune since the second grade when you did find the path you live is already plotted out.
And, there's no more

So slow down girl and take a walk with me down by the bay
We'll be happy for today
Said we'll be happy for today

Well this is a little rhyme I want to tell
It goes things go up, things go down, but like a roller coaster you're spinning around and
Your thoughts crumble like a rolling stone
But harm does the least when you're alone

So slow down girl and take a walk with me down by the bay
We'll be happy for today
Said we'll be happy for today
