I hope something cool will happen,
Like a dream I’ve idealised
will pan out in real life,
I want to be known for something,
And hopefully it’s something nice, yeah.
Nobody stays young forever,
My eyesight was graphic,
now I’m wearing glasses.
I never did pull the lever,
I have a habit to freeze in place.
Hearing the voice of a god,
Telling me I’m a dog,
So I sit, roll and shake.
To acknowledge my place.
I’m begging for something good.
I’m begging for something now.
I couldn’t wait til we grew up,
‘Til I realised up’s on the way out.
So now I’m lookin’ for the warning signs,
Reading every side effect and news headline,
Wishing I could travel to a simpler time,
Maybe I should meditate? I just wanna levitate,
Float away from every single warning sign,
Daily horoscope and every news headline,
Wishing I could travel to a simpler time,
Maybe I should meditate? I just wanna levitate,
Float my way through doors I rarely use.
Praying that they lead to bigger rooms.
I’d love to get old together,
If our planet allows it,
But I’m starting to doubt it,
Which axis should I tether?
Reality depends on where I’m faced.
Reading the lips of a snake,
Telling me my mistakes,
Although I fell through the fog,
I knew the end all along.
I’m begging for something good.
I’m begging for something now.
I couldn’t wait til we grew up,
‘Til I realised up’s on the way out.
So now I’m lookin’ for the warning signs,
Reading every side effect and news headline,
Wishing I could travel to a simpler time,
Maybe I should meditate? I just wanna levitate,
Float away from every single warning sign,
Daily horoscope and every news headline,
Wishing I could travel to a simpler time,
Maybe I should meditate? I just wanna levitate,
Float my way through doors I rarely use.
Praying that they lead to bigger rooms.
Float my way through doors I rarely use.
Praying that they lead to bigger rooms.
Float my way through doors I rarely use.
