Found a dead man on the side of the road
It reminds me of the thief I know
It end up dead just like that rat
Lookin' like an owl, like a dried-out cat
Well I know where to go...
A place we know, but lookin' sure
A place we can create
Troubles we can va-cate
We just got to go...
A place we know, but lookin' sure
We just got to take it... to the lake!
The trees keep shaking like a dog without food
Creepin' through the jungle like I know we should
Running from people supp'd to treat us right
Leaving us stranded in the middle of the night
Where's my cake
It fills my belly, all up state
We just got to go,
A place you know, but lookin' sure
A place we can create
Troubles we can va-cate
We just got take it... to the lake!
A dead man ran on the side of the road
It moves just like a thief I know
It end up dead just like that rat
Lookin' like in heaven, like a dried-out cat
Well I know where to go...
A place we know, but lookin' sure
A place we can create
Troubles we can va-cate
We just got to go...
A place we know, but lookin' sure
We just got to take it... to the lake!
