"155"

I've had nonsensical thoughts tripping through my head
Genial, magnanimous but i'm so bemused
How my mind glitters the devil's cheers after a pint of liberty
We've never felt so calm wrapped in Scarborough surround

Now i'm bouncing off the walls looking for a light
I guess that's the price you pay when you feel so right

Lazy and insane so loud, brick walled visions can't count me out
I tease the air with a slothful look through the car window
It reminds me of the friends I have to live out the excesses of time
The old man smiles and coughs back into life

Now i'm bouncing off the walls looking for a light
I guess that's the price you pay when you feel so right

Now i'm bouncing off the walls looking for a light
The old man smiles and coughs back into life
Now i'm bouncing off the walls looking for a light
The old man smiles and coughs back into life

Now i'm bouncing off the walls looking for a light
The old man smiles and coughs back into life
Now i'm bouncing off the walls looking for a light
The old man smiles and coughs back into life

The old man smiles and coughs back into life
And the old man smiles and coughs back into life
And I remind myself i'm not just the number twenty five.

  1. This is my favourite one of yours (I'm not saying its lyrically better than any other) because of the '155' story.
