I Just Wanna See

A planet on the go
It's okay, watching the weeds grow.
And if you listen really hard,
The earth she hums
When it's dark.
Sleeping on the sidewalk the home they call
Doctors and lawyers race for the ball.
And I don't even wanna understand it all
I just wanna see.
All the little kids gettin' down to the rhythm
The boys all shined up chasing down the women
A paper boy smilin' at the job that he's given
The bugs in the grass and the birds all swimmin'
Mr. Moon checkin' on how y'all livin'
The stars all winkin' at the day thats given
I just wanna see...
The aqueducts overflown
Watching the braches, and all's go home
And if you listen really well
The earth she speaks
When she's pale
Sleeping on the ceiling the flies don't fall
Dust bunnies found their way to a wall
And I don't even wanna understand it all
I just wanna see
All the little kids gettin' down to the rhythm
The boys all shined up chasin' down the women
A paper boy smilin' at the job that he's given
The bugs in the grass and the birds all swimmin'
Mr. Moon checkin' on how y'all livin'
The stars all winkin' at the day that's given
I just wanna see
Sleeping on the sidewalk the home they call
Docters and lawyers race for the ball
And I don't even wanna understand it all
I just wanna see
All the little kids gettin' down to the rhythm
The boys all shined up chasin' down the women
A paper boy smilin' at the job that he' given
The bugs in the grass and the birds all swimmin'
Mr. Moon checkin' on how y'all livin'
The stars all winkin' at the day that's given
I just wanna see...
I just wanna see
