Awake in the morning
And wondered often
Will the lights come and brighten my day
She decided to stay

Those blue eyes flickered gently
The week wandered awkward
[You're just standing there] by the parade(?)
And you'll end at the train

(Oh listen baby)
Come on Davey
Open the blinds
You gotta go past the window
And fly

(Oh listen baby)
Come on Davey
Step to the beat
You gotta stop all your worrying
Essplode

And the air
Smells like honey
Butter when I'm fuckin' ya lately
God your touches are tight, northern child
Your kisses are wild but your mouth is okay

Wake in a minute
You'll swallow your words
So just gently descend on a day
In a blanket melee

Finally, you will open your eyes
And this bounty awaits you
Unwind

And the air
Smells like honey
Butter when I'm fuckin' ya lately
God your touches are tight, northern child
Your kisses are wild but your mouth is okay

Well a holistic healer
Found my rhythm
Wasn't right in my mind
I dropped the ball
Now I'm singing this song
Like a teacher could say, "Your lessons are long
But your growth'll remain"

Happy shadow you'll be
Walkin' in the sunshine
(Oh yeah)

Speak from the beginning
I wonder often
No one there, someone there, or a crowd
And the blanket's real loud

Come on Avey
Pull down the blinds
Turn off the pilot
Essplode
