Greeting the hot sun of a gun

Condo in a succulent city

Wearing nobody's pants

Just a sharp suit busy with the ants

Riding on a holiday ride

Getting sidetracked, turn on my back

Heavy with the gravity glide

Just your wet clothes hanging on the line

She goes high up, her beak is stuck

La-da-da-da listen to her tune
          A7
Now she's nobody's bird

Just a red grape hanging on the vine

The white snow, look at her flow

Riding on the wind to meet thе roof

It's a long way from heaven to hay
Bm                            G
Falling on the hill to makе a poof

Is wrapped a blanket of another kind

Have another glass of purple tea

If it's okay
I'd like to stay
Bm                           G
Even though you recently met me
          A7
Hell
I'm not even here
           D                        Bm
I'm just a bubble floating in your beer
