From a bridge above the water
For the slaughter I sure waited
For a reflection was obliterated
By a helpful stranger's splash
I was just about to take off
Before the flake-off, but hey, I made it
There was a period of panic as I waited
For the splash to blast
We built a sea around a ship
We watched it grow drip by drip
We made a wave a'wave above
And we made love on top of it
We built a leaf around one tree
Certain seasons hard on it
Some limbs are full
Some limbs are lonely
Sometimes each limb is opposite
It keeps turning over, that's for sure
We built a house around an open door
Tripping over shadows
As I relearn to boogie
Cleaning up the windows
As I relearn to boogie
While you're looking for a spacecraft
You might just find a life raft
But of course it all could fade out
Like a chorus on its way out
Strong horses lead the parade out
As I relearn to boogie
Hearing about from the kids at night
Seems to be the lid is on too tight
The trees a'breeze, the cloud is high
And don't the grass just seem so soft and lazy
And the trash swirls and gathers in the wind
Looks like a celebration
Here we go to lose some time again
Unto another kind of crazy
Tripping over tripwires
As I relearn to boogie
Fanning all the shit fires
As I relearn to boogie
While you're looking for a spacecraft
You might just find a life raft
And of course it all could fade out
Like a chorus on its way out
Strong horses lead the parade out
As I relearn to boogie
As I relearn to boogie
As I relearn to boogie
