lyrics
Life is full of crazy rules
Follow them all or you'll be sent down to jail
No one knows who even made them,
or what reason that life was that way
They call me every day and night
and ask me all their crazy questions:
Like what's your name?
And where you're from?
And what's your opinions on middle eastern politics?
We sit around in the rain
wondering when the sun will come out again
but the sky controls the clouds
how do they choose the fearful weather
That's the mystery of life
Those're the things you'll never learn
but we'll go looking
and we'll go searching
and we'll go sailing
to find what it is
Drove down into the South
but all the cars are now frozen in place
cause the wind blows so strong (It blows strong)
Why does nature have to break all of our things?
That's the mystery of life
Those're the things you cannot know
but we'll keep looking
and we'll keep searching
and we'll keep sailing
to find what it is
And I'm flying through the wind,
where the rules of life do not apply
Oh it's pretty and it's purple in the dream
And there's nothing that can stop me
but myself
I am lost inside my dream but I feel okay
I'm lost inside the dream but I feel okay
Far away from things that would seem okay
Gone away from all of reality
but I feel okay (hey-ay)
See you standing on the sidewalk
Standing round while all the world tries to innovate
What they're missing is you
and what you're missing, is what they want to find
That's the mystery of life
We can find it, but only if you want to try
We'll keep looking
and we'll keep searching
and we'll keep sailing
and we'll find what it is
Follow them all or you'll be sent down to jail
No one knows who even made them,
or what reason that life was that way
They call me every day and night
and ask me all their crazy questions:
Like what's your name?
And where you're from?
And what's your opinions on middle eastern politics?
We sit around in the rain
wondering when the sun will come out again
but the sky controls the clouds
how do they choose the fearful weather
That's the mystery of life
Those're the things you'll never learn
but we'll go looking
and we'll go searching
and we'll go sailing
to find what it is
Drove down into the South
but all the cars are now frozen in place
cause the wind blows so strong (It blows strong)
Why does nature have to break all of our things?
That's the mystery of life
Those're the things you cannot know
but we'll keep looking
and we'll keep searching
and we'll keep sailing
to find what it is
And I'm flying through the wind,
where the rules of life do not apply
Oh it's pretty and it's purple in the dream
And there's nothing that can stop me
but myself
I am lost inside my dream but I feel okay
I'm lost inside the dream but I feel okay
Far away from things that would seem okay
Gone away from all of reality
but I feel okay (hey-ay)
See you standing on the sidewalk
Standing round while all the world tries to innovate
What they're missing is you
and what you're missing, is what they want to find
That's the mystery of life
We can find it, but only if you want to try
We'll keep looking
and we'll keep searching
and we'll keep sailing
and we'll find what it is
