lyrics

Well sometimes I forget just who I am
I hide out like a hermit crab, shut up like a clam
If you forget just who you are
Get in and take a long drive in your car
In your car you drive around the whole world and not give a damn
In my mind the lion is sleeping with the lamb

First impressions get mighty old
Not sure if I'm jaded or the world grew cold
I don't wanna be a victim of world war 3
The devil and god to keep me company
But theres a fat ol' rat running down the sidewalk
But I'm safe inside of my tin foil blanket
Sometimes I sit and think about the world
Other times I sit alone and don't say a word

Sometimes I get down but I always stand up
I put into perspective my overflowing cup
I like the kinda parties where I hang out with the dog
Sittin' in the corner like a bump on a log
Jump off the log start out to running
Open up your eyes and you see something stunning
Put on your hat, put on your coat
step out the door thats all she wrote man

Now don't talk about money
cause it makes no sense
Makes people act funny
Increase their confidence
No I don't need a dollar to give me a spine
Even if I had one it wouldn't pacify my mind
Cause my mind is wandering but my roots are planted
Always pondering the things I took for granted
Barely have time nowadays to think at all
If you wanna get together let's get a drink give me a call

Call me on the phone...
Anytime...
Day or night i'll answer... We can have some fun
