Good deeds
...sky, whoa i walk...
is everything alright?
you feeling moldy?
you feeling lonely?
you're not the only...
is everything alright?
you feeling stormy?
you feeling phoney?
you're not the only...
do you get up up up?
clouds stop and move above me
too bad they can't help me
what is the right way?
do I float up up up?
when I stop and look around me
gray's where that color should be
what is the right way?
old glasses clinking and a
new order's blinking and I -
I should be floating but I'm weighted by thinking
that I got on the river
really can't make you change
when the sky gets filled up too fast
and the taxi man's saying, "you better
give me some money; stop daydreaming, dude"
when the point of horizon is hiding from you
what would you want? sky
what would i want? sky
is everything alright?
you feeling lonely?
you feeling moldy?
you're not the only...
is everything alright?
you feeling stormy?
you feeling foamy?
you're not the only...
do you get up up up?
clouds stop and move above me
too bad they can't help me
what is the right way?
do I float up up up?
when I stop and look around me
gray's where that color should be
what is the right way?
old glasses clinking and a
new order's blinking and I -
I should be floating but I'm weighted by thinking
I'm a fly on the river
that'll make me some change
when the sky gets filled up too fast
and the taxi cab's waiting, "you better
give him some money;
stop daydreaming, dude"
when the point of horizon is hiding it's blues
what would you want? sky
what would I want? sky
what would I want? sky
...whoa I walk, sky!...
