Swimming around

There's something new to be found

It's such a beautiful sound

Bare naked feet on the ground

Swimming around

And I will sing you a song always

A nautical mile

You be the Sun to my dial

I'll be the rank in your file

Just come with me for a while

A nautical mile

And I will shoot you the breeze always

Flowers in bloom

I get 'em off of the Moon

To make my baby go boom

I put my grease in your spoon

Flowers in bloom

And you're the colors of June

Some days

Here we come, we're not far away

And I'll tell you more when I come to stay

Shoot me a smile

And I will show you the love always

Here we come and we're very close

And I'll give you more with this micro dose

Shoot me a smile

And I will show you the love always

Out on the road

I've got some cases to load

Some other places to go

Some other faces to know

Out on the road

Where I will show you the love parade

A lateral move

With nothing better to prove

Just hanging out with the crew

I'll put the wop in your doo

A lateral move

With nothing better to prove some days

Give me a home

I cannot make it alone

I need to share what I own

I'll be the cream in your cone

Give me a home

And I will show you the love always

Here we come, we're not far away

And I'll tell you more when I come to stay

Shoot me a smile

And I will show you the love always

Here we come and we're very close

And I'll give you more with this micro dose

Shoot me a smile

And I will show you the love always

I don't ever wanna lose my head

Last name's Hot and my first name's Red

I don't ever wanna get so tight

Wearing it loose like a summer's night

Strappin' for cash, I'm eating bangers and mash

And I remember The Clash, and I remember The Clash

Strappin' for cash but I will make you feel safe always

Bring it around just like the fox and the hound

Because it's openly crowned, I'm on a merry-go-round

Bring it around and I will sleep with a smile always

I never began because I'm never to end

I'm gonna buck every trend, I'm gonna make you my friend

I never began, but I will give you a start always

Here we come, we're not far away

And I'll tell you more when I come to stay

Shoot me a smile

And I will show you the love always

Here we come and we're very close

And I'll give you more with this micro dose

Shoot me a smile

And I will show you the love always
