lyrics

this has to be one of the strangest things there is

at first you don't really notice
and then it suddenly strikes you as kind of annoying
you've got everything right
it's still dusk
the clouds are golden around the edge
every trellis and brick seems to be whispering
"you are free, go and be happy"
and you are
and just as you're remembering the phone number
of your favorite restaurant
bam! there it is, big as a salad bar

now, not to let that slow you down, no
nothing that a cup of coffee and a pleasant smile can't cure
by the way, see those trees over there?
they're working for me
