There's a pen for the page, there's a cage for the bird

And the craziest thing that I've ever heard

Was whispered so soft there was barely a word

Can't nobody hold her to nothing

There's a car in the air and it's paid for I'm sure

The pain in the air is just won't run anymore

I waited and waited but there weren't any cure

On the day it was made it was busted

There's a bum on the beach, there's a world of sand

There's a girl out there somewhere just meeting a man

I dream of it so often I built me a tan

When I'm cold and I'm deep in the winter

With the pen coast and the black and greys

As summertime rolls and it's coming our way

The thing I need to dream, has been raining in may

It's dug in and deep as a splinter

There's cash for the clerk who smokes for the maid

I spoke to the priest, there's men to be saved

But I got her number when I got her name

Three days from now I will call her

Cause I am an oak and smoking here

A joke that I just can't leaning on it

That I should have spoke when I kept it all in

Now I can't tell nobody nothing

The wishes got dusty and dirty and dry

Got ridden too hard for too many nights

But some kind of restlessness keeps them alive

Just a little more reasoned and roughened

With the pen coast and the black and greys

As summertime rolls and it's coming our way

The thing I need to dream, has been raining in may

It's dug in and deep as a splinter

As summertime rolls and it's coming our way [x3]

It's dug in and deep as a splinter

There's a pen for the page, there's a cage for the bird

And the craziest thing that I've ever heard

Was whispered so soft there was barely a word

Can't nobody hold her to nothing [x4]
