The Slider


I could never understand the wind at all
Was like a ball of love
I could never never see the cosmic sea
Was like a bumblebee
And when I'm sad I slide

I have never never kissed a car before
It's like a door
I have never never nailed a nose before
It makes a garden grow
And when I'm sad I slide

I have always always grown my own before
All schools are strange
I could never understand the wind at all
Was like a ball of love
And when I'm sad I slide

Ha ha ha ha
Ha ha ha ha
Slide

Ha ha ha ha
Ha ha ha ha
