lyrics

when i make
a song
and the words
the words won't come
i wait
i try to wait
for something to happen

the cold war
was a game
that we
that we all used to play
like hide and go seek
it was better than nothing

when i dance
on the world
i can see
the boys and girls
spinning like tops
on the hand of God

- life on a raft
there's not a lot a room here
but i can see the shore
this raft will take me anywhere
- i'm writing a poem
a message in a bottle
i'll drop it in the deep sea
it will get to shore ahead of me

water falls
on the ground
sometimes
sometimes you feel down
but the band
the next band in the show
is fantastic

when i make
a song
and the words
the words won't come
i try
i try to wait
for something to happen
