Awake in the morning
I wonder often
Will the lights come bright on the day
She decided to stay
'Cause watchin' the TV
We wandered, awkward
Just standing by the parade
And you'll end at the train
(Listen baby)
Come on Davey
Open the blinds
You gotta look past the window
And fly
(Listen baby)
Come on Davey
Step to the beat
You gotta stop all your worrying
Essplode
Feet in the air
Smells like honey
Darlin' when I'm fuckin' ya lately
Got the touch of the tiger inside
Kiss is a while but your mouth is OK
Wait for a minute
You'll swallow your words
Just the scent on a summer day
In a blanket melee
Darlin' get up, open your eyes
This bounty awaits you
Unwind
Feet in the air
Smells like honey
Darlin' when I'm fuckin' ya lately
Got the touch of the tiger inside
Kiss you a while but your mouth is OK
Well a holistic healer
Found my rhythm
Wasn't right in my mind
Drop a bomb now, singin' the song like a teacher
Can say, "Your lessons are long!"
But you grow and remain
Have to shout at you
What did you do? Sorry
To have to shout at you but
What did you do? Sorry
Oh yeah (yeah!)
Speak from the beginning
I wonder often
No one there, someone there, or a crowd
And the blanket's real loud
Come on Avey
Put up the blinds
Turn on the pilot
Essplode
