Lyrics
Strange Design
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.
I'm needing
less restraint before
I'm needing
to hit the lights and close the door
I'm fine, I'm fine, 'cause I'm...
Chorus:
Dripping in a strange design
none is yours and far less mine
hold the wheel, read the sign
keep the tires off the line
just relax you're doing fine
swimming in this real thing
I call a life, but can I bring
a few companions on this ride?
I'm feeling
my heart's not beating anymore
I'm feeling
it's all right this happened once before
I'm fine, I'm fine, 'cause I'm...
[chorus 2x]
