lyrics

Clouds

Been a while I been hiding out,
sitting in my room under a big black cloud,
wasting away days just staring at walls,
waiting for the pain to work itself out.
Oh babe look at me now. Oh babe look at me now.
I’m whistling a tune and I’m walking on clouds,
just kicking up my heels and laughing out loud.

I don’t like being the neighbourhood crank,
my angst leaking out all over the place,
my face a blank like a broken brick wall,
infecting everybody with my loss of faith.
Oh babe look at me now. Oh babe look at me now.
I’m whistling a tune and I’m walking on clouds,
just kicking up my heels and laughing out loud.

What doesn’t break me makes me strong.
I kind of like being alone.
Oh the days fly by like they were an hour long
but the nights drag on.
The nights drag on.

There’s this woman been hanging around,
I kinda like the way she stands on her ground.
She lets her hair down and laughs like a clown.
She spins when she dances around and around and
around and around,
around and around and around and around.

And I’m doing cartwheels under the stars.
I’m writing stupid poems about how beautiful they are,
doing somersaults and handstands, I’m kicking out the jams.
I’m beating out crazy rhythms on my pots and pans.

I’m jumping like a goof on a hot tin cat.
I’m throwing my heart under your welcome mat.
I’m racing through the hills. I’m running through the flats.
I’ve been up so far downtown who knows where I’m at?

Oh babe look at me now. Oh babe look at me now.
I’m whistling a tune and I’m walking on clouds,
just kicking up my heels and laughing out loud.
