Lyrics
Picked Up By The Wind
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Watch out for the storm hide like an onion and keep yourself warm
Watch the barometer and study the form you've been warned
But if you never listened to a blind man's whim
You will never gain admission to the human swim
And your fusion will be fission all over again
Picked up by the wind
Take a look through the glass what's out there is coming up fast
Be prepared for the blast cause it won't last
If you ever suspected that you have sinned
If you ever expected a lottery win
You will never get infected if you don't jump in
Picked up by the wind
Picked up by the wind picked up by the wind
Picked up by the wind you ain't safe inside your skin
Think you need new clothes fallen asleep too often in those
Lose all your cares and your woes touch your toes
But if you never experience a change of plan
You will never enjoy the verse that don't scan
You'll lose the meaning of life and end up like Desperate Dan
Picked up by the wind
Picked up by the wind picked up by the wind
Picked up by the wind you ain't safe inside your skin
What's that knock at your door
what's that junk mail doing all over the floor
Who's that being a bore and what's in store
Keep your eyes on the sky for a warning sign
Keep your hands on your boots because they could be mine
And if you're swimming upside down well it can turn out fine
Picked up by the wind
