Can't see the orange river flow
Can't see the lazy sailor grow
Can't see the hypnotist you chose so slow
Can't see the winter weather change
Can't sneeze myself into a crash
Can't find a reason to forget my past
Can't challenge figures that were born to last
The night is open and I am bored
So sing to me
You picked a lovely night to go
Hanging nickels from all your toes
Well such embarrassment can stunt your growth
The flood is open, tickets sold
But now the eyes are growing near
The knife can't paint a picture below your ears
The only thing that you refuse to hear
Is don't let the winter weather change
So sing to me
The albatross is on my neck
And when you talk, you cannot learn
The albatross it can't forget
Can't see the orange river flow
Can't see the lazy sailor grow
Can't see the hypnotist you chose so slow
Can't see the winter weather change
