[Verse:]
2
I snook out the front door into winter and the world outside
3
I stepped out the door to New York City, my hair was barely dry
4
I could not remember where I was going, so I went back inside
5
Nothin' happened in the elevator, nothing happening on the stairs
6
Nothing ever happenin' when I am sleeping and I cannot stay there
7
How'd you find a party when you're in your room?
8
How'd you find the action man? The action is everywhere!
9
And decide to climb outside your bedroom window, paint a picture on a clock
10
Oh if you decide that you can't hide inside your mind
11
Provide the slide to get you out
12
Feels just like you're fallin' and you're goin' down
13
And everybody luvs ya when you hit the ground
14
I say a prayer, I say a prayer, I say a prayer to Pocahontas
15
I pray to John Appleseed
16
Oh, I cigarette the winter air, then I finna stare my way down 7th street
17
Some chick yells Jesus luvs me more than I know but less than I need
18
I play down the valley to the? And then I step off into the air
19
Point my sunglasses east towards Jerusalem and then follow all the pharoahs there
20
They're buildin' pyramids in the Western Square
21
Drivin' in circles 'round the circus til the circles in the air
22
My love says come on Adam tell me what the hell is wrong with you
23
She says, come on, Adam tell me, what the hell am I supposed to do!
24
She says I could love you, I could leave you
25
But I can't live what you put me through
26
I call the winter Maria cuz I do not know her face
27
I call the endless sky Emilia cuz she stays with me from place to place
28
I call the sun my love Emanuel, she cradle me in her embrace
29
I left, nothin' happening in the kitchen, nothing happening on the floor
30
Nothin' happenin' in my bed, she don't sleep there no more
31
Hard to find the bottom when you're in the air
32
Hey man, how'd you find the circus, we have the circus is everywhere?
